Pre-release updates are updates that have been thoroughly tested and will be released soon. Enabling pre-release updates gives access to the most recent detection methods and fixes; however, pre-release updates might not be stable enough at all times, so you should always revert to using normal updates when an issue is resolved.
Solution
I. Enable pre-release updates
- Open your ESET Windows product.
-
Press the F5 key to open Advanced setup.
-
Click Update, expand Profiles → Updates, select Pre-release update from the Update type drop-down menu and then click OK.
-
Restart your computer.
-
Click Update → Check for updates.
II. Switch back to the regular update
After your issue is resolved or you no longer need pre-release updates, follow these instructions to switch Update type back to Regular update.
-
Press F5 key to open Advanced setup.
-
Click Update, expand Profiles → Updates, and then select Regular update from the Update type drop-down menu. Click OK to close Advanced setup.
