Challenge

Due to Access Control policy in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, Windows 10 updates won’t run and install properly.

Solution

In order to run properly, the McAfee VSE Access Control needs to be disabled temporarily. To do this from a normal user login, it needs to run as an Administrator. On the search box, just type in: VirusScan Console and right-click and select Run as Administrator. Disable the Access Control.

Please note that the disable is only last for around 30 minutes by default.

Environment

* Microsoft Windows 10
* McAfee VirusScan Enterprise

The End

Congratulation on reaching the end of this article. We hope that we have been able to shed some light on how to run McAfee VirusScan console as an administrator.

We write this in such a way that this is not a fixed article. Like in this journey, we learn as we go and we re-write some parts so please keep pinging with this article.
