    "Unauthorized changes blocked"


    I keep getting the following message from Windows Defender on a regular basis even when I'm not trying to make any changes: " Virus & threat protection.... unauthorized changes blocked" (eg: "C:\Program F...\chrome.exe"). I have checked the antivirus settings and all categories say: "No action needed". I have run every available troubleshooter on my HP Notebook which runs Windows 10 Home 64 bit. I have switched between Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, but that doesn't seem to affect these messages. How can I stop these notifications? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    :)

    Using an older program, Paint Shop Pro 7, trying to save a photo to a new location such as the desktop or a library I am not allowed, and get this message.

    I am trying to save this file yet the message seems to suggest I am searching for it!

    Thanks for the response Josey Wales, I did try running under XP SP2 and Win7 since it worked on W7 as expected.
    I also receive this message while trying to save, as well even from other programs such as Quickbooks 2017

    Windows 10 Home - "Unauthorized changes blocked"

    I'm using Windows 10 x64 Home on an HP laptop - Suddenly, I can no longer download photos from my SD card using the port on my laptop and my Photoshop Elements 15 - I get the following messages:

    Unauthorized changes blocked

    Controlled Folder Access blocked C:\...\PhotoDownloader...from making changes to the folder %userprofil...\$test$

    Or:

    Unauthorized changes blocked

    Controlled Folder Access blocked C:\...\PhotoshopElement...from making changes to the folder %userprofile%\Documents

    I want to use Photoshop in order to rename each photo as I download and I'm afraid this is completely blocking my use of Photoshop at all

    I'm not computer literate so any help you can give needs to be in detailed, step by step format.

    Thank you for any help you can offer
