Description

The following script with description:

• --- Disable System Guard rule definitions

Is causing the following error messages:

Failed to rename "C:\Windows\System32\Sgrm\SgrmAssertions.bin"
to "C:\Windows\System32\Sgrm\SgrmAssertions.bin.OLD":
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Failed to rename "C:\Windows\System32\Sgrm\SgrmAssertions.cat"
to "C:\Windows\System32\Sgrm\SgrmAssertions.cat.OLD":

Partial output (in Spanish):

How can the bug be recreated?

No exact idea. ¿Maybe having the same Windows 10 OS build I have, and running the Privacy Sexy generated script file that I've attached?.

I really don't have any running third-party application that could have open (reading/writing/using) SgrmAssertions.bin and SgrmAssertions.cat files. Probably the operating system itself is who is using them... I'm not sure whether executing the Privacy Sexy generated script file in Secure Mode would be able to rename those files.
