    Hi, please check \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CldFlt\Instances

     

    After upgrade to build 2004, the DefaultInstance was set to CldFltUpper. 

     

    I changed the value as CldFlt, rebooted... And now the FOD function is back and fully functionnal.

     

    Hope this will work for you too. 

     

    I had the idea to change this value as on my professional computer, I only have one instance named CldFlt and not the CldFltUpper.

Josep1190, you're a Genius!  My \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CldFlt\Instances was also set to CldFltUpper, and although I did not have a pre-upgrade copy to compare, I just followed your recommendation: changed to CldFlt & rebooted.  Now everything works again! 

 

Thank you very much!

    My theory is that they wanted to make our systems more "secure", but it lead to disaster, as with many other things with this update Josep1190
