    Ransomware Protection in Windows 10 Blocked My Game


    Ransomware protection in Windows Defender all of a sudden decides that the .exe file for one of my games is a low threat and has blocked it from running and I can't play this particular game. I've been playing this game on and off for the past 8 years without a problem and for the past 6 months on this computer.

    I have tried to unblock this game by using 'Allow an app through Controlled folder access' however it still continues to block the game from starting up. I've tried to uninstall/reinstall the game, I've also tried turning ransomware off but the problem still exists. Any ideas what else I can do?

    Say goodbye to ransomware with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

    Yes, ransomware will be a thing of the past with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update thanks to something called "Controlled Folder Access" in Windows Defender.

    Windows 10 will hide your important files from ransomware soon | The Verge

    These are protections for your files against ransomware at the kernel and Windows Defender level. Rest easy, your files are safe.

    About damn time Microsoft!
