Some files on the system may camouflage as genuine system files while infecting them with viruses and malware. One such file is the uiSeAgnt.exe on Windows 11. Hence, this article will explain what uiSeAgnt.exe is and provide ways to disable it.

Since these files can also cause exe files not to open on your PC; you should check what to do here when such occurs.

What is uiSeAgnt.exe?

The uiSeAgnt.exe (User Interface for Client Session Agent) file is an extracted executable software file of Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security by Trend Micro. It is responsible for running an endpoint application that provides real-time security services known as Session Agent.

Furthermore, uiSeAgnt.exe is not an essential Windows process. So it can be modified depending on your preference. Though the file can be attached to a specific component and threaten the system if it is corrupt or compromised by viruses or malware.

The benefit of keeping the file is:

  • It allows the Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security software to work on your computer.

Reasons you should disable it:

  • The uiSeAgnt.exe file can be a virus or malware disguised as an executable file.
  • If you don’t use the Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security software, the file is unnecessary.

Moreover, disabling it can’t pose any risk or danger to the system since it’s not an essential component.
