Hi Folks,
I have a Win 10 Pro HP Elitedesk 800 G1 pc. I somehow have triggered "Controlled Folder Access" --- (hereafter called "CFA") on my pc.
This is disastrous because although I have tried many online based suggestions to close down the "CFA" status on my desktop, it won't have it !!
I use the Ashampoo Office Suite (latest version) on my pc and cannot for example, get any files saved properly as a notice keeps appearing saying that the pc is under "CFA" status and won't permit this. How do I get rid of this problem please.
Any valid suggestions would be most welcome.
Many thanks - PH
