So I turn all these annoyances off for myself and everyone else around me, well, not the safe browsing because I don’t expect them to download the files I download so it is whatever, at least it doesn’t run all the time and uses a bunch of disk and cpu like any antivirus/malware/whatever does. You can add other folders to be protected, but you cannot remove the default folders in the default list.Īdding other folders to Controlled folder access can be helpful for cases when you don’t store files in the default Windows libraries, or you’ve changed the default location of your libraries.Just turn it off and problem solved… anything like a antivirus, antimalware or antiwhatever is useless most of the time, filled always by false positives and deleting good files because they are “signed”.Įven Safe Browsing (which is controlled by Google) is annoying for people like me because it always cause problems with whatever Google wants to flag as “malicious” even if it is not and then people suffer and have to do a lot of stuff for their files to stop being flagged, a bunch of ‘bureaucracy’ that shouldn’t be needed any place and less on the internet only because some “big tech” think they own the internet.
Windows system folders are protected by default, and Controlled folder access applies to many system folders and default locations, including folders such as Documents, Pictures, and Movies. With controlled folder access in place, a notification appears on the computer where an app attempted to make changes to a file in a protected folder. In a ransomware attack, your files can get encrypted and held hostage.
Controlled folder access in Windows Security reviews the apps that can make changes to files in protected folders and blocks unauthorized or unsafe apps from accessing or changing files in those folders.Ĭontrolled folder access is especially useful in helping to protect your documents and information from ransomware. In this post, you will learn how to enable Controlled Folder Access To Protect Data Using Intune MEM Portal.
