The short answer is no, WP AutoShield will not cause issues with WP-Cron. Here's why:
Enhance disables the built-in WP-Cron by default for all websites and uses its own cron system to manage tasks. This is beneficial since WP-Cron is known to cause load and performance issues. However, WP AutoShield includes a feature to disable WP-Cron as an advanced solution to ensure all WordPress installations are accounted for, particularly in cases where Enhance might not detect some WordPress installations. This ensures that Enhance’s cron system can take over for all sites on the server.
