What effect does RFM have on a Windows sensor immediately after an update?

After a Windows sensor is updated, it may experience temporary limitations in its ability to trigger certain detection patterns due to the changes introduced by the new version. This is because the update process can involve transitioning to a new set of detection algorithms, heuristics, or signatures that may not be fully intact until the sensor completes its post-update initialization and any necessary background tasks. During this time, some detection patterns may not function as intended, leading to potential gaps in detection capabilities.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately represent the typical behavior of a Windows sensor following an update. While monitoring activities do not completely stop, there may be a brief period where not all elements are fully operational. Similarly, the sensor is designed to function effectively without any restrictions post-update, and it does not retain all data from the previous kernel as this could create inconsistencies or conflicts with the new sensor version. Thus, the focus is on the transitional phase that the sensor goes through immediately after an update, during which some detection patterns may be temporarily inactive.
