How to change the target folder to save a trace file using registry keys
Run REG files in safe mode and reproduce the issue in regular mode.
To change the target folder to save the trace file, follow the guide below. The C:\trace\ folder is used as an example:
- Make sure your user account has administrator permissions.
- Create a trace folder on disk C.
- Download and unpack one of the following archives:
- KES11.5–11.6_trace_path.zip if you are using Kaspersky Endpoint Security versions 11.5.0–11.6.0.
- KES11.0–11.4_trace_path.zip if you are using Kaspersky Endpoint Security versions 11.0.1–11.4.0.

- For 64-bit operating systems: Custom_path_x64.reg
- Restart your computer.
The changes will be applied upon restart. Trace files will be automatically saved to the created folder.
To save the trace file to the default folder:
- %ProgramData%\Kaspersky Lab\KES\Traces (for versions 11.5.0–11.6.0), run the Default path_x32_KES11.5-11.6.reg or Default path_x64_KES11.5-11.6.reg file from the archive.
- %ProgramData%\Kaspersky Lab (for versions 11.0.0–11.4.0), run the Default path_x32.reg or Default path_x64.reg file from the archive.
