Enhancements:

Improved the performance when handling network files.
It is now possible to install the clients on Windows 11 with enabled Smart App Control when, during installation, the computer is connected to the Internet. Previously, the installation on such computers was blocked.
Improved protections against evasion techniques.
Added support for the "Prohibit cancel scan if more than" option on Anti-Malware DHS compliant engine. Admin can prohibit the users from canceling a scheduled scan if more than X days passed since the last scan.

No - i have searched for documentation and SKs but found nothing but E87.x Endpoint Security Clients for Windows Release Notes, as i used the term SmartExclusion as stated above and not Smart Exclusions.

The movie is nice, but where to find full documentation ? Are subfolders excluded automatically ? When switching to Smart Exclusions and converting Legacy Exclusions, how to handle exclusions that did not get converted ?

I would expect the full documentation to be available once the feature is GA.

@BarYassure can hopefully comment further in the interim.

Hi
You are absolutely right.
Because it is in EA phase, we did not add it to the Admin Guide, but we will add it once it is GA.
EA customers are working with the attached presentation we created, after a demo meeting together with me and the R&D team.
They get direct support from Product & R&D during the EA.
But again, you are right and it will be ready once it is GA.
Thank you! 🙂
