Windows 10: Protected memory access blocked App or process blocked: DDVDataCollector.exe

Hi, hope someone can help with this please.


I am getting the message seen in subject title multiple times a day, can be as much as 30 or 40 times. Have seen previous threads and replies, with some suggesting turning off protected folder restriction etc. Not sure that is the right answer as obviously there for a reason in the first place. Did try though but it still seems to happen. This has only been happening for the last week or so as well. What do i do to resolve this please? Thanks in advance

:)

 

Protected memory access blocked/

Multiple times a day I'm getting the message.

Unauthorized changes blocked

Controlled folder blocked C:/...DDVDataCollector from making changes to memory

I've run a full scan in windows security, that showed no issues.

How can I stop these messages appearing.

 

Windows Security - Controlled Folder Access - Recently Blocked App List

Hello,

I thank you for your response. I know how to add and remove apps to and from the controlled folder access. My question is how to remove an app from the "Recently Blocked Apps" list. In Windows 1809 they made it easier to add apps to the controlled folder
access without having to navigate to the exe. They added a Recently Blocked Apps list you can select from. The steps for Windows 1809 are:

1. Open the Windows Security and click/tap on the Virus & threat protection icon.

2. Click/tap on the Manage ransomware protection link under the Ransomware protection section.

3. Click/tap on the Allow an app through Controlled folder access link.

4. Click/tap on Yes when prompted by UAC to approve.

5. Click/tap on Add an Allowed App (+) sign

6. Click or tap Recently Blocked Apps from the drop down menu. (NEW)

7. Click or tap on the (+) button for the app you want to add from the list. (NEW)

It is this Recently Blocked Folders List I am trying to edit to remove apps I have not authorized and that have been deleted from my PC and are still in this list. I know you can select an allowed app from the controlled folder access list and you will
see a REMOVE button, which in 1809 will put the app back in the Recently Blocked Apps list if it was there originally. But that same process does not work on the Blocked Apps list.

My question still remains:

How do you delete an app from the "Recently Blocked Apps" list in Windows Security for Windows 1809?

 

Unauthorised changes blocked C:\...DDVDataCollector…

Hi,

I'm getting a lot of Unauthorised changes blocked C:\...DDVDataCollector…from making changes to memory messages, this happens every few minutes and appears to be happening since the last update. I think I'm right in saying that the DDVDataCollector cannot be turned off, so can I turn off the annoying messages ? Clicking on these messages takes me to where I 'think' I should be able to do so but then I get stuck...

Thanks.
