Important note when running SVF 9.2 Java output engine on Windows Server 2016

Last Updated on 26/Oct/2017

It was reported that Antimalware Service Executable in Windows Defender on Windows Server 2016 may cause performance decline. 

We observed the performance decline when creating SVF form in basic mode and outputting it with EMF model on Windows Server 2016. We didn't see any degradation with the same environment on Windows Server 2012 R2.

According to Microsoft's investigation, the product decline occurs due to interference of Antimalware Service Executable which is one of services in Windows Defender on Windows Server 2016. As of Oct, 2017, Microsoft has not fixed the issue and no plan to address the issue. We strongly recommend you use another security software and disable Windows Defender as follows:   

1. Push Windows key and R key to open Run window.
2. Enter "Gpedit.msc" and hit Return.
3. Go to Computer Configuration - Administrative Template - Windows Components - Endpoint Protection - Disable Endpoint Protection.
4. Select Enable and click OK.

System requirement for SVF Ver.9.2 with Windows Server 2016 can be found here. You need to apply SVF Ver. 9.2 SP5 and upgrade Oracle Java to 1.8.0_131 or later.
