PowerShell process might hang randomly with ENS Threat Prevention

Technical Articles ID: KB94807
Last Modified: 2022-10-06 09:04:42 Etc/GMT

Environment

Endpoint Security (ENS) Threat Prevention 10.x

Problem

Users might see the PowerShell process hang randomly on a system. To recover PowerShell, you might need to relaunch the PowerShell process. The issue doesn't occur if ENS isn't installed on the system. During Windows deployment/upgrade using System Center Configuration Manager or other methods, after ENS is installed, installation of other products might hang due to the PowerShell hang. This issue occurs when all products are combined into a single task.

Cause

This issue occurs due to a loader lock deadlock that ENS loglib.dll causes when performing activity from the main DLL.

Solution

This issue is resolved in the ENS 10.6.1 November 2021 Update and ENS 10.7.0 September 2021 Update.
