  2. Add Allow App through Controlled Folder Access context menu Windows 10  

    How to Add "Allow App through Controlled Folder Access" context menu in Windows 10


    Starting with Controlled folder access is introduced in Windows Defender Antivirus.

    When Controlled folder access is turned on, it helps you protect valuable data from malicious apps and threats, such as ransomware. It is part of Windows Defender Exploit Guard.

    You can specify if certain apps should always be considered safe and given write access to files in Allowing apps can be useful if you're finding a particular app that you know and trust is being blocked by the Controlled folder access feature.

    By default, Windows adds apps that it considers friendly to the allowed list - apps added automatically by Windows are not recorded in the list shown in the Windows Defender Security Center app. You shouldn't need to add most apps. Only add apps if they are being blocked and you can verify their trustworthiness.

    When you add an app, you have to specify the app's location. Only the app in that location will be permitted access to the protected folders - if the app (with the same name) is located in a different location, then it will not be added to the allow list and may be blocked by Controlled folder access.

    For more details about Controlled folder access, see:
