Specific Upgrade Considerations for Windows Environments

  • Endpoint Security Interference: If you are having trouble installing or upgrading Cribl Edge, check for antivirus or other endpoint security tools that may be blocking the cribl process (like Windows Defender). See workaround: Common Challenges on the Edge | Cribl Docs.

  • ThreatLocker might block Microsoft Edge installation on Windows 11: This causes silent failures. Contact your ThreatLocker admin to check for SYSTEM account blocks. They can create exceptions for Edge installations.
