Having lots a problems with opening different apps on my computer like SteelSeries GG, had problems with Rockstar Launcher and ended up in a rabbit hole about problems, I couldn't open protection history for a while until I did a fix (still can't open it sometimes, think it's because of the amount of labels) when I looked in it there's a long list of Services and Apps being blocked, couple labeled "Protected memory access blocked" but most labeled "Protected folder access blocked" and blocking things like

You can allow aps to access your protected memory, but you should only allow apps that you trust.

I would be grateful if a Microsoft Moderator could advise me as to what this means, as I'm not very technically minded.

Many thanks.
