Issue: A Host IPS Patch 6 to Patch 7 upgrade fails to disable IPS for some browser processes on Windows 10 systems. It causes a FireSvc.exe process to stop responding and the Patch 7 installation to fail.
Resolution: It is recommended to configure the Patch 7 upgrade task to run at System Start, which reduces the risk of open, running browser processes. See the related article for more workarounds.
