Notes & Warnings
If it is preferable to decouple the application binaries completely from being monitored by the Endpoint, please refer to the Advanced Tab documentation for instructions. Take care to roll back registry changes after the memory dump is collected. The information in this article recommends editing the registry. Before proceeding, back up the registry, and be sure you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. Refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base for information on backing up, restoring, and editing the registry. Forcepoint provides information on how to edit the Windows registry as a convenience to its customers, but does not support Windows in any way and will not be responsible for any problems that may arise from such editing. WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly may cause serious problems that could require you to reinstall the operating system. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. |
Problem Description
The Forcepoint Endpoint Client can encounter driver conflicts with other client-side applications. Issues such as application crashes, hanging, or overall system performance issues may be experienced. In these situations, it is helpful to collect a full memory dump by initiating a BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) on the client machine. A common log entry pertaining to driver errors is the following within DebugDump.txt: [DataSecurityEngine]: fail to create QIP The resulting memory dump can be provided to Engineering for review. |
