Windows Defender Not allowing any downloads from microsoft Edge

Hello, I have been having issues downloading anything from Microsoft Edge, every time I attempt to download anything an error appears saying that Windows Defender Application Control won't allow the download. I've turned off Windows Defender and attempted
to download again but it still has the same type of error appear. I've tried to download a third-party antivirus software, but it won't allow that download either. If anyone has any ideas that would be fantastic. Thanks!

 

Windows defender does not allow for me to unquarantine items

Hi Michael,

The Real-time protection feature of Windows
Defender stops malware from running on your device. It's possible that this feature is preventing the system from restoring/allowing the affected program. If you're sure that the affected program is virus free, we suggest that you disable the
feature temporarily and try to restore the program. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Type Windows Defender settings in the search bar and press
  Enter.
• Under Windows Defender, disable
  Real-time protection by clicking the toggle button.
• Once you're done, restore the affected file/program and check if the issue persists.

Also, you can allow a quarantined file/program from the Windows
Defender desktop app. If you have the app installed on your device, you can follow these steps:

• Type Windows Defender in the search box, and then select the Desktop app.
• Under the History tab, click on the check box for the affected file/program.
• Select Allow item.

We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.

 

Add an Allowed App through Controlled Folder Access in Windows Defender Security Center

Hi,

1.Feature seems like a good idea - but its awfully implemented

2.It blocks my Adobe Suite apps from functioning

3.other apps such as winrar also seems to not function correctly

4.My plan - to add all current application to "allowed list"

5.I have created list with all *.exe files, but how do i BATCH add the txt/csv list of allowed applications to the Ransomware registry? which is located here:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Windows Defender Exploit Guard\Controlled Folder Access\AllowedApplications

Thank you for any input!
