Microsoft has just released a new preview build of Windows 10 Redstone and while the majority of fast ring insiders will rush to install it, there’s one very important thing to have in mind when doing so.
Kaspersky’s security software isn’t working on this particular build because of a bug and Gabe Aul, head of the Windows Insider program, confirmed this today, adding that there’s absolutely no workaround available at this moment.
“If you have Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Internet Security, or the Kaspersky Total Security Suite installed on your PC there is a known driver bug that prevents these programs from working as expected in builds from the Development Branch,” Aul explained, emphasizing that this is the kind of bug that has to be expected in an early build that’s only available to insiders opting for the fastest release.
Just switch to Windows Defender
Furthermore, Aul revealed that the Windows development team is already working with Kaspersky engineers on a fix, but for the moment, turning to a different security product is the safest way to go.
