I have another PC using it and I have to temporarily shut down Defender blocking when doing some things on it because it also won't let me access Word docs, other files etc, even though I have their program listed in the "white list". Yep it's aggressive in what it blocks when you do. Linwood - Windows Defender when first updated to Fall Creators IIRC has this access turned off. Review controlled folder access events in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal. So to clarify - is there detrimental things not being updated if this Profile is blocked, even if I don't change Presets and unblock it when I do? If so, I'll turn off Defender and just keep this computer disconnected until I have to go online.
So there must be another executable that is updating that Roaming Profile? I do typically keep this dedicated PC running LR & housing all of our pics off the net, but this is a JIC. Blocked by: Controlled folder access i ran windows defender scan and malware bytes scan, and nothing was found what more can i do to find out if i have a virus or trojan thanks Attached. I have access to the catalog and don't see anything going on unusual in LR when using it. Which is why I was wondering why the access error. Click on Block history to view any protected folders that have blocked. From time to time, Windows Defender (via Controlled Access Folder) blocks apps from accessing my files and raises a notification on the Windows notification bar. Phil - I have the LR executable listed in Defender as do not block. The Enable folder protection setting enables the controlled folder access setting.
