Which setting inside the Sensor Update Policy prevents unauthorized uninstallation?

The correct setting is Uninstall and Maintenance Protection . In Falcon, this control is configured inside Sensor Update Policies and is specifically designed to prevent unauthorized sensor removal or maintenance operations. The official guidance states that the “Uninstall and maintenance protection” setting prevents unauthorized uninstallation of the sensor and controls whether a local administrator can manually update or uninstall the sensor. When enabled, uninstalling, repairing, unloading, downgrading, or manually upgrading the sensor requires a valid maintenance token. For supported Windows sensor versions, this protection can also prevent unauthorized modification of sensor grouping tags, which helps stop users from moving endpoints into less restrictive policy assignments. The course guide recommends keeping this setting enabled for normal production policies and creating a separate temporary maintenance policy only when legitimate sensor changes are required. “Installation and Maintenance Protection,” “Sensor Version Control Protection,” and “Update and Management Protection” are not the official Falcon setting names.
