Anti-Ransomware very often does not let me sign into Windows

Recommended Posts

I've installed the latest Anti-Ransomware Beta and no problems getting the protection active. But ever since installing it have very often trouble signing into Windows after a reboot/restart. When this happens, either the screen turns black after signing in and stays that way or I get a message that I'm signed out of Windows because of problems. So, then every time those problems happen I either need to push the power button in the former case since nothing else is working or do a restart in the latter case.

For now I have uninstalled it and have no more those problems, but miss very much the protection.

What can be done to get this annoyance fixed since I'm very interested in Anti-Ransomware.

Hello ToniDolphin and :welcome:

Even though you might have tried left-clicking "Stop Protection" in the MBARW Beta Dashboard/GUI, let's see if any directories remained after the uninstall:

Using the native Windows built-in zip utility, please create the following 2, separate, .zip archive files for MBARW developer team analysis:

1. Create a .zip archive file (not .7z or .rar) of the directory C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware\
2. Create a separate .zip archive file (not .7z or .rar) of the directory C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\logs\

Please attach the 2 .zip archives to your next reply.  Thank you for your beta testing contribution to the Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware (MBARW Beta) project and your valued feedback.

A restart/reboot usually fixes the problem, but of course that's very annoying.

 

Hi Spam Hunters,

The archives are here. Thank you very much for looking into my boot issue. Meanwhile, I have reinstalled the Anti-Ransomware. The zip archives were done right after the re-installation.

I installed MBARW after a glowing recommendation from the Britec Computer website. But it gave me some problems.

If I change accounts on my W10 machine I often got  a "preparing windows" message which, if I wait long enough, then logs me in under a temporary profile. On another occasion the computer did a reboot.

I have temporarily uninstalled the program and now all is back to normal.

Hope this can be resolved as MBARW looks like it could be a very useful tool.

Today I rebooted the first time after the installation of Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware. I experienced the same issue. I got logged into a temporary account. I had to log out and log in again to get to my account. I disabled Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware and rebooted. This time I could log in directly. I ran a DISM because last time it showed an error when I ran it after disabling Anti-Ransomware. It displayed the same error again, something about a file missing. I attached the DISM log file FYI. But this error message disappears when running DISM while Anti-Ransomware is uninstalled, but pops up again when it is installed again.

Other attachments I included are zip archives of 

C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware\

C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\logs\

 

These zip archives are from AFTER DISABLING ANTI-RANSOMWARE so you can compare them with the previous.

I hope my information and files provided help in solving this problem.

Thank you!

Hello ToniDolphin:

Thank you for the archives.  Let's see if MBARW Beta8 (v0.9.17.661) has resolved the issue.  Rather than a simple re-install of MBARW Beta7, please consider a clean install of MBARW Beta8:

1. Close all open user applications followed by a conventional Windows based uninstall of Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware through the Windows system Control Panel.
2. If MBARW Beta7 was uninstalled successfully, the following sub-directories will have been deleted from a typical Windows x64 system:
                        
                         C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware\
                         C:\ProgramData\MBAMService\

3. If any of the above directories remain, please delete them manually.  If necessary, any remaining/uninstalled directory must be deleted in the Windows Safe mode.
4. Execute a conventional Windows restart to the Normal Windows boot mode and log-in through an Administrator's account. <===IMPORTANT!
5. Using an Administrator's account only, download a fresh MBARW_Setup.exe file and save to the Administrator's Desktop from the New version - BETA 8 - now available! topic.
6. Right-click the saved MBARW_Setup.exe file and left-click RunAsAdmin.jpg  Run as administrator from the context menu and continue.
7. Upon a successful installation, please restart the computer in a conventional manner to the Windows Normal boot mode.

Please reply to your topic with the status of your reported issue.  Thank you for beta testing MBARW and your valued feedback.
