Problems with Windows Security Ransomware Protection - Solved
Windows 10.0.19042: I've had 2 apps fail due to the way Windows Security has implemented Ransomware Protection. 1ClickDVD would not let me register a new version and Microsoft Works (Word and Spreadsheet) would only allow me to open read-only copies, stating that the copy was "already in use". Both of these items were fixed by going into Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection>Ransomware Protection>Manage Ransomware. Here you will find a history of blocks. Each block contains the app name being blocked and the folder being protected. If you have a valid app being blocked, you can allow the app though Ransomware, or you can take the folder (from the block history) out from under Ransomware control.
