Hey everyone,

If you’ve run into installation error 1603, 3002, 0xe0220019 while trying to install Trend Micro Security for Windows, here are some information that might help you.

Why This Happens

In many cases, these errors occur because the Windows version installed on your device is a Preview Build. Please note that Trend Micro only supports official, publicly released versions of Windows. If your build is not listed in our supported versions, there’s a high chance it’s a preview or insider build.

You can check our supported Windows versions here: Windows 11 release information

If your OS is indeed a preview build, we recommend installing an official release of Windows before attempting to reinstall Trend Micro.

Other Possible Causes

If you're using an official Windows build but still seeing these errors, it might be due to one of the following:

• An important component required for the installation couldn’t be set up properly
• You're using an outdated version of the installer

In these cases, please follow the step-by-step guide in our Help Center to resolve the issue:

Hi, Trend Micro Community!

As we move out of our community platform on August 15, 2024, we want to inform you about certain restrictions that will be in place during and after the migration process. These restrictions are necessary to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the security and integrity of our community.

What’s Happening?

We are currently in the process of migrating our Community Circle to a new system. This migration is intended to enhance your experience and provide you with a more streamlined and user-friendly platform.

[Announcement] Upcoming Migration of Trend Micro Community

Please note that there will be certain restrictions in place when we deploy the new Community Circle on August 15, 2024, and until the system migration is fully complete. These restrictions are necessary to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the security and integrity of the platform.

What Restrictions Will We Experience?

During the transition period to the new system, new posts, comments, and replies by users to this community will be restricted.

If you have any questions or concerns about our products, we ask that you use other contact points outside of the community.

Cases That Are Under Investigation

Due to the upcoming restrictions, we won't be able to address your concerns through the Community Circle.

We genuinely care about your experience and want to be there for you every step of the way during the migration phase of our Community. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team through here: Contact Support. We are here to listen, understand, and provide the assistance you need. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Update Your Link!

As part of the system transition, we want to inform you that the URL for the community circle will change. After the migration is complete, any community links you access will be automatically redirected to the new platform.

To ensure a seamless experience, we recommend updating the community URL saved in your browser's ""Favorites"" or similar. This will help you avoid any potential inconvenience.

Please note that the specific date and time of the system migration, as well as the new URL, will be announced at a later date. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding during this transition period. We are excited to welcome you to our new community!

We look forward to your continued patronage of the new Trend Micro customer community.

Hello Trend Micro Community,

We want to keep you informed about some important changes coming to our Community. We are migrating to a new system to enhance your experience and make our community space more focused on efficient interactions and solution sharing. Here’s what you need to know:

System Migration Overview

• New Community URL: We will be moving to a new URL. The specific details about the migration timing and the new URL will be shared in a forthcoming announcement.
• Profile Information Transfer: While your Account Name and Bio will be transferred to the new system, please note that some elements like profile pictures, badges, points/rank titles, and follow/follower information will not be carried over. We recommend saving any information you wish to keep before the migration.

Simplified Community Features

In our new Community, some features from the current system may not be available as we aim to streamline the experience, focusing more on user interactions and the sharing of solutions. This simplification will help us build a more user-friendly and engaging environment for all members.

Attention Trend Micro Community!

  New Update!     

We have successfully implemented a fix for the 2FA verification issue affecting your Trend Micro My Account. 
This would let you use the SMS 2FA codes to access your account.

Still having the same issue?

If you have configured multiple Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) methods for your account, you can use the 'Use another method' option if you haven't received the SMS authentication within 120 seconds. This allows you to regain access to your account.

However, if you have only configured SMS authentication for your account, please follow the troubleshooting steps below.

For users in the US using T-Mobile as their network provider:

• It is advised to utilize alternative authentication methods like email verification, social sign-ins, or authenticator apps to improve security and enhance the user authentication process.

For users with different network providers and users from AU/NZ:

• Please refer to the Help Center guide for assistance. You can find the guide at the following link:

If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to contact our Support Team.

Our developers are consistently on this issue. We will let you know once this issue is fixed.

Trend Micro Security Release Notes April 2024 Release

Fixed Issues

This update addresses several specific problems in Trend Micro Security:

Attention Trend Micro Community!

What Happened?

Customers have reported that apps/programs operate slower when Trend Micro Security is running on their computer, resulting in delays in their usage, and they have also noticed that apps are slower to start up and work compared to before.

What You Need to Know

The problem occurred because a special character was used in the code of a Trend Micro component, which caused incompatibility issues and resulted in the scan functionality problem.

What to Do?

Trend Micro has addressed this issue by releasing a new update on March 19, 2024, with build version 17.8.1192, which resolves the problem.

Recommended troubleshooting steps:
     1. Open the Trend Micro Main Console.
     2. Click ""About the Software"" to check for the latest update.
     3. After updating, verify that the new version is 17.8.1192.
