• Before installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.2.0 in Windows 10 RS1, RS2, RS3 and RS4 with the Device Guard option enabled, you must install the latest cumulative operating system update. Otherwise, a critical error of the operating system (BSOD) may occur upon restarting the PC.
• For more information about other limitations in support of Microsoft Windows 10 / Server 2016 / Server 2019 see this article.

• For correct operation of the hard drive encryption feature, reboot the computer after the installation of the product.
• Authentication Agent does not support hieroglyphics and the special symbols "|" and "\".
• When there are processes that attempt to access encrypted drives before the application has granted them access to the devices, the application shows a warning saying that such processes must be terminated. If not all such processes can be killed, the encrypted drives have to be reconnected.
• Unique IDs of hard drives are displayed in the device encryption statistics in inverted format.
• We do not recommend to format the devices during the process of their encryption.
• When more than one removable drives are connected to the device, the encryption policy is applied only to one of the drives. At the next attempt to connect the drives that were not encrypted, the encryption policy is applied correctly.
• Encryption may fail to start on a heavily fragmented hard drive. Defragment your hard drive.
• During hard drive encryption, hibernation is blocked from the time when the encryption task starts and until the first reboot of a computer under Microsoft Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 operating systems, and after installation of hard drive encryption – until the first reboot of Microsoft Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 operating systems. During hard drive decryption, hibernation is blocked from the time when the boot hard drive is fully decrypted until the first reboot of the operating system. When the Quick Start option is enabled in the Microsoft Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 operating systems, blocking of hibernation makes it impossible to shut down the operating system.
• We do not recommend that you use the xbootmgr.exe tool with additional providers enabled (such as Dispatcher, Network, Drivers).
• Formatting of an encrypted removable drive is not supported on a computer with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows installed.
• Formatting of an encrypted removable drive with the FAT32 file system is not supported (the device is displayed as encrypted). To be able to format the drive, reformat it to the NTFS file system.
• Issues of restoring the operating system from a backup copy to an encrypted GPT device are described in this article.
• Coexistence of several download agents on one encrypted computer is not supported.
• It is impossible to access the removable drive, which was earlier encrypted on another computer, when all of the following conditions are maintained:
  • There is no connection to the Kaspersky Security Center server.
  • The user authorizes with a new token or password.
  In such cases, restart the computer. After the computer restart, access to the encrypted removable drive will be granted.
• Discovery of USB devices by the authentication agent is not supported when xHCI mode for USB is enabled in BIOS settings.
• Full-disk encryption (FDE) of the SSD part of the drive, which is used for caching the frequently used data, is not supported for SSHD devices.
• Full-disk encryption of 32-bit Microsoft Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 operating systems running in UEFI mode is not supported.
• Before the next encryption of the decrypted hard drive, restart the computer.
• Hard drive encryption is incompatible with Kaspersky Anti-Virus for UEFI. We do not recommend that you use full disk encryption on computers with Kaspersky Anti-Virus for UEFI installed.
• Creating Authentication Agent user accounts based on Microsoft accounts is supported with the following limitations:
  • Single sign-on is not supported.
  • Automatic creation of user accounts for the authentication agent is not supported if the option of creating accounts for users, who have logged in to the system within N days, is enabled.
• If the authentication agent account name is "domain"/"Windows account name", then after changing the computer name you must also update the domain part of the account names created for local users on this computer. For example, the computer name is USER and your local user account name is Username, and the FDE account has been created under the name USER/Username. If the computer name (USER) has been changed (for example, to USER-PC) , then you must change the FDE account name from USER/Username to USER-PC/Username. To change the authentication agent account name, use the local accounts management task. Until the account name is changed, only the old name can be used for preboot authentication (in the example: USER/Username).
• If the user is allowed to log in only with a token and an access restoration procedure is required on a computer that has been encrypted using FDE technology, make sure this user can log in with a password after the access to the encrypted computer is restored. The password set by the user during access restoration may not be saved. In this case, the user will have to restore access to the encrypted host once again at the next computer restart.
• If the data on the original device is overwritten with the decrypted data when the hard drive is decrypted with the FDE Recovery Tool, the decryption process may end with an error. Some of the data will remain encrypted. We recommend selecting the option of saving the decrypted data to a file in the FDE Recovery Tool settings.
• If the user restarts the computer when the message "Your password has been changed. Click OK" is displayed, the new password is not saved. The old password must be used for the next preboot authentication.
• Disk encryption is incompatible with the Intel Rapid Start technology.
• Disk encryption is incompatible with the ExpressCache technology.
• In some cases, when trying to decrypt an encrypted drive, FDE Recovery Tool will erroneously detect the device condition as not encrypted after the Challenge-Response procedure completion. The successful decryption event will appear in the tool operation log. In this case, it is necessary to run the data recovery process again to decrypt the device.
• See this article for the remaining limitations in Full Disk Encryption support and for the list of devices that support hard drive encryption with limitations.

• File and folder encryption functionality is not supported under operating systems of the Microsoft Windows Embedded family.
• Once you have installed the application, you must restart the operating system for the file and folder encryption functionality to work properly.

• Synchronization of offline files using Client-Side Caching service (CSC) is not supported. We recommend that you deny autonomous use of shared resources on the group policy level. Files in the autonomous mode can be edited. Upon synchronization, the changes made to the autonomous file can be lost. For more information about Client-Side Caching (CSC) support, see this article.
• Creation of an encrypted archive in the root of the system hard drive is not supported.
• Problems can be experienced when attempting to access encrypted files over the network. We recommend that you move files to a different source or make sure that the computer used as a file server is managed by the same Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.
• Changing the keyboard layout causes the password entry window for an encrypted self-extracting archive to stop responding. To solve this problem, close the password entry window, switch the keyboard layout in your operating system, and re-enter the password for the encrypted archive.
• When using file encryption on systems with several disk partitions, it is recommended that you use the automatic pagefile.sys file size identification option. The pagefile.sys file may move between disk partitions after restarting the computer.
• After applying file encryption rules, including the files located in the Documents folder, make sure all users for which the encryption was enabled have access to the files. Each user should log in to the system when there is a connection with Kaspersky Security Center. If the user tries to access the encrypted files when there is no connection to Kaspersky Security Center, the system may stop responding.
• If system files end up in the FLE scope, an event may be logged in application reports about an error encrypting them. The files specified in the events are not encrypted.
• Pico processes are not supported.
• Paths that are case-sensitive are not supported. When are applying encryption or decryption rules, paths are displayed in product events in lower case.
• Encryption of files used by the system at the startup is not recommended. Otherwise, when the system tries to access these files without connection to Kaspersky Security Center, the system may stop responding or may show multiple requests on access to the files.
• Password expiration term cannot be disabled for encryption of removable drives that support the portable mode.
• When a file is edited simultaneously by multiple users over the network according to FLE encryption rules in an application that uses memory-mapped file technology (e.g., WordPad, FAR) or an application for working with large files (e.g., Notepad++), the unencrypted file can be blocked indefinitely without being accessible on this computer.
• File encryption is not supported in the OneDrive synchronization folders. Adding folders which contain already encrypted files to the list of synchronization with OneDrive may result in data loss in those folders.

• If the "Error receiving data" system message is displayed, check if the computer on which you are performing activation has network access, or configure activation via Kaspersky Security Center Activation Proxy.
• Installation of the subscription license through Kaspersky Security Center automatic distribution is not performed if the license on the computer is expired or if trial license is used. To replace a trial license or a renewal license which is due to expire soon, use the license distribution task to apply the renewal license.
• In the application interface, the license expiration date is displayed in local time.
• When installing a program with a built-in key file on a computer with unstable Internet connection, events may appear temporary, reporting that the program could not be activated or that the license blocks the component. During its installation, the program will first install and try to activate an in-built test license. This process requires stable Internet connection.
• Installing any update or patch for the program during its trial period on a computer with an unstable Internet access may cause events to appear temporary, reporting that the program could not be activated. During an update installation, the program will reinstall and try to activate an in-built test license. This process requires stable Internet connection.

For silent installation, add the PRIVACYPOLICY=1 parameter to the command line or to the setup.ini file. By doing this, you will accept the Privacy Policy. A file with the Privacy Policy text is included in the distribution package of Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.2.0 for Windows.

• When upgrading Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 Service Pack 2 for Windows (10.3.0.6294) to Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.2.0 for Windows, the files from backup and quarantine are moved to the backup storage of the new version. For versions earlier than Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 for Windows Service Pack 2 (10.3.0.6294), files from quarantine and backup will not be moved to the new version. To keep the files, restore them from backup and quarantine before upgrading to Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.2.0 for Windows. After the upgrade, scan the restored files again.
• When the encryption module (FLE or FDE) or the Device Control component is removed then installed again, computer restart is required before reinstalling the modules.
• On Microsoft Windows 10, you must restart the system after removing the FLE component.
• Attempts to install any version of the AES encryption module on a computer with Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11 for Windows fail with an error stating that a newer version of the application is installed on the computer, even if no encryption components are installed. Starting with Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 Service Pack 2 (version 10.3.0.6294), the encryption module does not have a separate installation file. Encryption libraries are included into the application installation package. Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.2.0 for Windows is incompatible with AES encryption modules released for previous versions of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows. All libraries required for encryption are installed automatically when the full disk encryption (FDE) or file level encryption (FLE) component is selected.
