I couldn't even save documents from my, non-Microsoft, word processor.Īs I already have AR with MB3 I just turned off Controlled Folder Access in Defender and left it off. (A bit of an amateurish 'sledgehammer to crack a nut' solution to ransomware - if you prevent everything from being modified then ransomware can't modify it).

The Windows Defender problem with Controled Folder Access sound like one I've come across before myself.Īgain this is Windows Defender version of anti-ramsom protection. We have a fix for this coming in a later update, but the work-around in the meantime is to temporarily disable the anti-ransomware module while you upgrade. Prevents programs from updating: Programs such as Skype, Visual Studio 2017, KeePass and others may not update correctly with the anti-ransomware module enabled.

Typically rebooting will resolve the issue temporarily. Go to Windows Security > Virus and threat protection > Virus and threat protection settings > Controlled folder access and turn it off. System slowdown/excessive memory use: The next component package update for Malwarebytes (coming soon!) should address this problem. We have identified a few issues with the anti-ransomware module in the latest version of Malwarebytes, v. Malwarebytes 3.5.1 – Known issues with anti-ransomware
