    Carbon Black Endpoint Standard is detecting Notepad injecting into another process, but only on Windows 11.Is this something that's "normal" for the Windows 11 version of Notepad?notepad.exe using SetWindowsHookEx for...something?What's it doing? WHY?To be clear, this isn't something else injecting into the notepad process...which is the only thing I can find any specific information on.

    Has Windows some legal way to inject DLL into processes?

    Essentially, code injection is a hack.

    Nevertheless, code injection is a normal part of the Windows application platform because it’s often the only way for a third-party to accomplish a task. Compared to iOS or Android, which (I think) lack the ability to inject code, the Windows desktop is
    arguably more powerful because if offers this kind of flexibility.

    You surely know that lots of problems can result when DLLs (or other code) from third parties are injected into Windows processes, because the code injected was not designed, built, or tested by Microsoft. It runs the risk of creating issues that weren’t
    there before or exacerbating issues that were already there. Nevertheless, Windows includes APIs that can be used for code injection, and Windows doesn’t prevent processes on your computer from interfering with each other like this.

    This forum isn't the place for learning about these APIs - and in any case, I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough to explain them. You want MSDN. This forum is where the lowest of the low in computer ability comes to try to unravel the mess they made.
