Defender for Endpoint has all Attack Surface Reduction rules enabled. The GUID shown in the log entry corresponds to the ASR rule "Block credential stealing from the Windows security authority subsystem (lsass.exe)
What is causing the Exploit Guard to complain about the ASR rule and will this impact the operation of CCleaner or the OS?
Thanks
