Workflow interruption by wa_3rd_party_host_64.exe interfering with app focus

ScottQ — Thu, 18 May 2023 05:30:31 GMT

When I am working in ANY other program I find many times my workflow is being interrupted and current program looses focus when wa_3rd_party_host_64.exe has started.

Is anyone else getting a problem like this?

How often should my active vpn be triggering wa_3rd_party_host_64.exe ?

See attached EVERY time I see these processes current program looses focus and does not return. It even happens when I am in the middle of typing text. Any ideas?

@ScottQ,

I've never heard of anyone running into issues with OPSWAT and it taking focus away from the active application. That would be unexpected behavior that shouldn't be taking place.

The default HIP check interval is every hour. This can be modified by the firewall administrator however if they want to modify the default value, so don't take that hour figure as gospel. The majority of environments will leave it set to the hour default value instead of overriding the default.
