What does this mean and what can I do?
"An Application Request Change was made for a known application file: C:\
Program Files \ Window Defender | MpCmdRun.exe"

Hello again,

This is probably happening because you have the box checked to notify you
about "Changes made to your computer by software that is allowed to run".
What you're seeing specifically is the WinDefend service updating the
scheduled scan jobs, which is nºrmªl.

Usually when you boot your system, is when you will see the message, and in
normal way this is normal.

But, if you see a error window with a "Service Executable has encountered a
problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience", or similar
messages, then is when you should go to open the System event log and
Application, go to View, choose Filter, and set the Source dropdown control
to "WinDefend" and see whether there are events in that log that you can
relate to this issue.

If you find anything enlightening, using the cut and paste button to paste
them back here may be useful.

Look for Red "X" or a yellow triangulo with a exclamation mark.

Good luck

Hi. I got the thing about the "MpCmdRun.exe", but if it is a known, and is an
OK. Then why does WinDefend keep giving notice of it? Can I set the program
not to notify unless their is a fault with this program? Aditoonally I get
warnings about files named "Unknown.*". The Asterisk means their is more
than one file reference made. When these files cause warnings to pop-up.
WinDefender just sets itself to Ignore. WinDefend also Pops-up a warning
referring to "Disk Detector" like the one for "MpCmdRun.exe". Disk detecter
is a program of Creative Labs for use with Sound Blaster products that use
access to CD's / DVD's. I get a warning for both the "Disk Detecter", and the
"MpCmdRun.exe". Can I set Windefender to not keep poping up warnings fer
these unless their is a problem with these? Thank You for Your Time, and
Assistance.

Open Defender main panel. Choose Tools, then Options, and scroll down until
you get to: "Choose if Windows Defender should notify you about:
[ ] Software that has not yet been classified for risks
[ ] Changes made to your computer by software that is allowed to run"

Uncheck the two boxes, and the notifications should stop. However, keep an
eye on System Restore for the next few days. You just might get a
proliferation of 'Defender checkpoints' appearing - which is why some of us
have checked those two boxes in the first place. This is a bug they've
promised to fix in the final release.

Hi Alan. This is James. I think the option of deselecting those two options
is not something I want to do for now as by what you said about what will
happen if I unchecked them. I'll wait till MSoft fixes it's program. I hope
they will add a selection that'll allow me to stop notification of those
repetitious messages. I want to know about other not normally set warnings.
The selection should only stop the warning messages for those messages that I
select to not be notified of. Example: The message about the "MpCmdRun.exe."
This message I'd want to not show every time. So in a dialog that should
appear when I see the warning. I should get an option to not show this
specific warning. So I would be able to stop only warnings for those items
that are considered normal. Now I must ask a question outside this topic
please>>> Why is this message area not opened in a normal page showing the
toolbars from the MSIExplore? I can't access my Google spell-check utility
from this page to see if all spelling is correct. I must copy / paste to a
word processor to spell-check. Additionally: Why can't I change the main
display page so it is easier to read for me? The main page for this forum is
not designed as fully handicapped accessible. It needs to be reformatted so
the Explorer Navigation bar can be hidden while reading the messages so the
message boxes can be larger and easier to read. This text entry box needs to
have it's text size changed to a point size or two to make it easier to read.
Thank You.
