[VisionExchange] I found that Windows Update and Windows Defender are turned off in the main Vision Exchange unit. Can I turn them on?

     

    Windows Update and Windows Defender operation is blocked by default for the following reasons:
    •    If Windows Update starts the update process while using Vision Exchange, the performance of the application will be adversely affected
    •    Operation of the application may change as a result of using Windows Update
    •    If Windows Defender starts the scan process while using Vision Exchange, the performance of the application will be adversely affected
    If you are obliged to run Windows Update and/or Windows Defender as part of a corporate security policy, use the following procedure:
    •    Configure the active time and reboot time so that the update process or scan process cannot start while Vision Exchange is running
     •  Running Windows Update
      •   Log in as the OS administrator
      •   Open (Control Panel) > (System and Security) > (Administrative Tools) > (Services
      •   Open (Properties) for the (Windows Update) service
      •   Change the startup type to ‘Manual', and click the (Start) button
      •   Select (Settings) > (Update & Security) from the Windows menu to perform the update
      •   After updating is completed, open (Properties) for the (Windows Update) service, press the (Stop) button, set the startup type to ‘Disabled', and press the (OK) button
      •   Reboot the system
     •  Enabling Windows Defender
      •   Log in as the OS administrator
      •   Select (Run…) from the Windows menu and run the ‘gpedit.msc' command to open the local group policy editor
      •   Open (Computer Configuration) > (Administrative Templates) > (Windows Components) > (Windows Defender) > (Turn off Windows Defender) setting
      •   Change the setting to (Not configured)
      •   Click the Settings icon in the Windows menu, select (Settings) > (Update & Security)
          > (Windows Defender) and press the (Open Windows Defender) button to open the dialogue box
      •   Click the (Turn on) button and configure settings as required
