Windows 10: Windows Defender blocking game save files

Windows Defender (to be more specific, Virus & Threat Protection > Real Time Protection) thinks that my games on my computer are harming my computer when they enter save files. My games are official, all of them are from Steam, Origin, Uplay, and official PC-ROM discs.


Because of this, after every time I turn on my PC, I have to manually turn it off every time, and it is becoming annoying. If I don't turn it off, the games start from the beginning as if I never played them before.


I also tried to manually exclude the virus protection from the games, but it takes so long to manually pick every game to exclude virus protection one by one.


I also get a notification every time I try to launch a game that the game is trying to harm my computer when in reality it's just accessing the save files.


I am tired of manually turning off Virus & Threat Protection after every time my PC turns on. There has to be a better solution.


Help would be appreciated, let me know if this problem is already solved by someone else.

Windows Defender Blocks Game from writing to User file.

After the most recent upgrade to Windows 10, Defender blocks the game CNC3 from writing to the user file. CNC3 wants to store data there as to game state and levels. When I disable Defender the game works fine. I tried a few changes in permissions
but apparently they did not work. CNC3 has been working for over a year on this machine with Windows 10.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thank you

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
