Cause

Third party security management software (for example AppSense) has blocked the execution of the Controller client software, because Controller is not inside the list of 'allowed' programs.
In other words, this security software has disabled the Controller client program from running, because it is not inside the 'allowlist'.

Environment

Controller deployed via a Citrix server.

Resolving The Problem

Ensure that third party software (for example 'Appsense') is appropriately configured, and has its services running correctly.
