I have software that replaces core OS files. Problem is that Microsoft updates replace those files, rendering the program inoperative. How can I detect file replacement at boot time, due to automatic updates?
My idea is a registry watch on some key, what key? Any other ideas?
Boot-time file replacements are done by smss.exe by referring
PendingFileRenameOperationsvalue underHKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Managerkey. Also,AllowProtectedRenamesshould be set to1if files that are protected by Windows File Protection are going to be moved/deleted.
