Additional Information:
The DialogBlockingService service is used to block dialog boxes from being displayed while a system-level process is running. The service is used by some processes, including the following:
- Windows Update
- Windows Defender
- Windows Search
- Windows Firewall
When one of these processes is running, the DialogBlockingService service will prevent any dialog boxes from being displayed. This is done to prevent the dialog boxes from interfering with the process and causing it to crash.
It is important to note that allowing dialog boxes to be displayed while a system-level process is running can make your computer more vulnerable to malware and other attacks, as they can exploit dialog boxes to gain access to your computer.
