Windows 10: Clear Controlled Folder Access Block History

I am having trouble clearing my controlled folder access block history. I am aware of the method of deleting the Service folder in Windows Defender/History and turning real time protection on and off, but this does nothing for me. Neither does clearing the windows defender logs in event viewer. I have done both of these things but as you can see in the picture I still have a full log of things. Can anyone help me clear this?

Controlled Folder Access blocked

Hi Aeolus0,

The Controlled Folder Access is an enterprise-class ransomware protection component that was recently added to Windows Defender. When you turn on Controlled folder access, a lot of the folders you use most often will be protected by default. This means that
content in any of these folders cannot be accessed or changed by any unknown or untrusted apps. Once you add additional folders, they become automatically protected as well. To add protected folders:

• Select Virus & threat protection settings.
• Under Controlled folder access, select Protected folders.
• Select Add a protected folder and follow the prompts to add folders.

If you see an App is blocked message when you try to use a familiar app, you can simply unblock the app. If this message displays:

• Write down or take note of the path of the blocked app.
• Select the message, and then select Add an allowed app.
• Browse for the program you want to allow access.

As for your query about having no sounds on your computer, it could be caused by an outdated or corrupted audio driver. For us to assist you better, kindly answer the questions below:

• Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Which version and OS build number of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, press the
  Windows key, type winver, and press the
  Enter key.
• Have you tried to download and install the latest audio driver from the manufacturer's website of your device?

Meanwhile, you can try the steps in this

We'll be looking forward to your reply.

 

Controlled folder access blocking toast notifications no longer appear

When I first initiated "Controlled folder access" I would get toast notifications when a new app was blocked. I could then allow that app by opening the recently blocked app list , and make an exception for the blocked app.

A few weeks ago the toast notifications stopped for this feature (otherwise they are active). Now when a program fails to load, I have to toggle off controlled folder access and retry the program launch. If successful, I then manually locate that program to make an exception, as it does not appear in the recently blocked apps list.

How do I again receive toast notifications, and why are the blocked programs no longer appearing in the recently blocked apps list? Is there a means to manually clear the recently blocked list? This anti-ransomware feature has become a nuisance to manage.

Does anyone here use this?

 

Controlled Folder Access process, Block History, gets overloaded, crashes then closes.

Controlled Folder Access process, Block History, gets overloaded, crashes then closes. This failure was consistently failing when I was on v1903.0

After successful update to v1909 on 11/11/2019, I received a "Block notice" and immediately accessed "Block History." I was happily stunned that the Block History was loading numerous entries and
thought that it is fixed! Within seconds all the accumulating entries stopped; disappeared then disappeared .

I again accessed the Block History link and received the notice that there i.e. "there were no Block Actions". Hours latter same
"there were no Block Actions."

Reasonable possibilities for this error:

1. The number of Blocks that will be displayed is limited and
   MS coders have not trapped that limit - thus the
   Crash!
2. Dell Assistant makes 20-30 daily attempts to access my system: NOTICE:
   Each attempt uses a different path (see yellow highlight)

3.
Intel Driver and Support Assistant Installer makes 2-3 daily attempts to access my system: NOTICE:
Each attempt uses a different path (see yellow highlight)





It is obvious that too many MS Partners are not aware how to smartly deal with Win 10 CFA.

It is also obvious that these errors are not trapped by MS.

Finally, give your Users a path/plan to clear these excessive intrusions:
CLEAR BUTTON Please!

and/or give users info as to where the "listed items are stored" and how we can Clear them. (Regedit??)

Thanks,
