Additional Information

Enabling this setting will filter out known modloads reducing the resource load on the EDR server
The setting is most important for Mac as they create the most noise.
The filter can be used in Windows environments generating heavy modload activity 
This is a typical cause of an EDR and hosted EDR server crashing due to high CPU rendering it inaccessible at login
