Defender for Endpoint (mssense.exe) locking files and causing issues
Hi, We have encountered an issue with one of our applications whereby every time the application downloads a file from the application server, mssense.exe creates a RWD lock on the file very briefly...
The issue has been resolved, in the end it wasn't the file locks or anything to do with Defender. It was an issue with the application. Got it working without needing to change anything in Defender.
Thanks for all the help regardless.
MS Support ticket. They manage EDR Exclusions, but recently have enabled EDR Exclusions in your tenant if you ask nicely 🙂
I know all too well the pains of locked files from MsSense. Adding the paths from procmon which resolved for us.
