Windows 10: Can't use my new Quicken version because Controlled Folder Access prevents it.

I downloaded a less complex version of Quicken because I don't use it for my investments any more.

But I can't use Quicken AT ALL now, because every attempt is thwarted by Controlled Folder Access.

Please help.

Controlled Folder Access is off. Shouldn't this be on?

Controlled Folder Access

Hi.

I've been using Controlled Folder Access recently but I'm having a problem getting one application to change/create files. I use doPDF8 to create PDF files, but when CFA is active, it won't save my work. The notice explaining that something has tried accessing the folder only comes up once. (I assume that if you don't do anything about it, the program trying to access the file is put on the 'black list'.) Turning CFA off and then on again causes the notice to appear once more. However, the notice seems to suggest that it is C:\Windows\splwow64.exe that is trying to access/create the file, but when I put this into the 'allow app control' list, it still doesn't work. The only way I can find to get the PDF file created is to turn off CFA, create the file and then turn it back on again.

Any ideas?
