==== Enhancements
* Shortens the time it takes to recover from a `DEGRADED` status caused by {elastic-agent} communication issues.
* Due to an issue in macOS, {elastic-defend} would sometimes send network events without `user.name` populated. {elastic-defend} now identifies these events and populates `user.name` if necessary.
* Reduces {elastic-defend} CPU when processing events from the System process.
* Reduces {elastic-defend} CPU usage for ETW events, API events, and Behavioral Protections. In some cases, this may be a significant reduction.

[[bug-fixes-8.17.10]]
==== Fixes
* Fixes a race condition in {elastic-defend} on Windows that occasionally resulted in corrupted process command lines. This could cause incorrect values for `process.command_line`, `process.args_count`, and `process.args`, leading to false positives.
* Improves the efficiency of the {elastic-defend} malware scan queue by not blocking scan requests when an oplock for the file being scanned cannot be acquired.
* Fixes an issue in {elastic-defend} performance metrics that resulted in `endpoint_uptime_percent` always being 0 for behavioral rules.
* Fixes an issue in {elastic-defend} that could result in a crash if a {ls} output configuration is specified containing a certificate which cannot not be parsed.
* Shortens the time it takes for {elastic-defend} to recover from a `DEGRADED` status caused by {agent} communication issues.
