Information

Turning off File Explorer heap termination on corruption must be disabled.

GROUP ID: V-220838RULE ID: SV-220838r958902

Legacy plug-in applications may continue to function when a File Explorer session has become corrupt. Disabling this feature will prevent this.

Solution

The default behavior is for File Explorer heap termination on corruption to be enabled.

If this needs to be corrected, configure the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> File Explorer >> 'Turn off heap termination on corruption'

to 'Not Configured' or 'Disabled'.
