Hi @radiochair​

  
You should click on the "Hotfix" first to download the Ti_1780_win_en_ForceSN_hfb0001 file.
 
From there, open or double click on it to start the hotfix. Make sure to confirm by clicking "Yes" on the User Account Control window that will appear.
Follow the rest of on-screen instructions so you can proceed with the hotfix installation. once it's done it should ask you to restart your device.
 
Let me know if it worked for you.

Hi @garyrross,


Please double-check the version of your Trend Micro program. It should be 17.8 first before you run the hotfix. Thanks!

Hi @garyrross , 

It seems you haven't installed the most recent version. Kindly update to version 17.8 initially, and you can do this through the Trend Micro reinstallation process. then try again to apply the hotfix solution provided. 

Let us know how it goes.

Hi @garyrross​, 

We're glad to hear that the latest version worked for you! Regarding checking for updates, you are correct that they typically come automatically. However, it's a good idea to occasionally check for updates manually. I'd recommend checking for updates every few weeks or so, just to ensure that your Trend Micro software is running smoothly.

Paranoid question by someone who doesn't get to this level very often: Why would a HotFix come from Trend.org rather than TrendMicro.com?  Just a little suspicious, and happy to be wrong.

Hi @brian_davidson,

The file is from trend.org because the powerbox where the file is downloadable came from our company's or organization's internal cloud system. Rest assured that all downloadable links we posted here are legitimate and safe for everyone's security as this is our only Trend Micro Community page. Thank you!

It doesn't work on my laptop. Not compatible. Guess I didn't pay enough for Trend Micro all these years?

Hi @radiochair , 

We want to verify the current version of Trend Micro installed on your Windows device since this Hotfix is only compatible with Trend Micro version 17.8. Thank you!

I don't understand the difference between a 'hot fix' and an update. Why can't this be included in a regular update? When I read the t&c for this it says it hasn't been subjected to the usual thorough testing, which concerns me. Is everyone meant to apply this, or what?

Hi @john_adaf4e​, 

The hotfix is made to quickly solve the current problem while we wait for the next update. This fix will be part of the next update, so other customers facing the same issue won't need the hotfix anymore.

I hope this clears up any confusion.
