    App & browser control - Protection history is blank


    Hi.I am having an issue with the Windows Security showing a notification for App & browser control.The alert message states: Potential unwanted app found. Your device may perform poorly.When I click the review button, I am presented with Protection history, which has nothing listed.I have dismissed the alert, but it persistently returns, and nothing showing when click review.Seeking assistance to stop this message, or how to determine the reason for the alert and resolve.Please see screen shots below.Thanks for any comments or assistance regarding this.

  4. App & browser control - Protection history is blank

    My protection history is always blank, even when windows notifies me of an issue for controlled folder access.

    I have been searching the internet for months trying to find a solution to this, but all the answers are about anti-virus and this has nothing to do with antivirus.

    My issue is with controller folder access.

    Apps get blocked all the time, especially games. I start up a game, it tries to create some settings in my local users directories and gets blocked by controlled folder access.

    For example, I started up COD and it blocked access to the cod.exe from adding anything to my documents folders.

    1. A notification pops up, says that it was blocked
    2. I click the notification, it takes me to a BLANK protection history.
    No issue, why dont I go into controlled folder access and fix the issue.

    1. I then open the start menu and open up "Controlled folder access" from System settings
    2. I click "allow an app through Controlled folder access" which prompts you to either browse all apps or look at "recently blocked apps"
    3. Recently blocked apps is empty, even though on the right side of my screen I have an active notification saying it was blocked.
    4. I then have to manually find the exe to let it through, which often means multiple steps and searching.
    This has been a nuance for months and I don't have any custom antivirus or settings, just using basic Windows 10 Home.

    OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home
    Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045
