Hi,
@Cliff S : Recycle Bin is nothing but a folder too as you may well know. It's a protected, hidden, system folder.

My point above was that I soon found out that this protection seems more of an added nuisance, at least to me. i keep regular MR images so I decided to put my eggs in that basket.

Cheers,

Me too, A nice USB 3.0 gen 1 drive that sits in my closet

I would imagine that it's either the specific folder restored to needs to be allowed or the particular Recycle bin, (folder), itself - I am assuming the the relevant explorer process is whitelisted

Still a pain, it's turned off until Microsoft white lists more of it's software and processes, or at the very least, adds a link to the popup to quickly go to the "offending" .exe to white list it.

I just wanted to protect my NAS MR image folders but found I had to have all the so-called system folders as well and that was too much of a pain.

Wonder why we couldn't have just our own selected folders protected? All it would need is two options instead of one e.g System folders on/off and Other selected folders.

What are you talking about here? Are you talking backup?

One has to remember that it is still in it's infancy. I'm sure it will improve as it matures.

In reference to my post #310, I have mentioned this problem with "Controlled Folder Access". I put it on right after upgrading to FCU and it was driving kinda crazy at the very beginning because I was receiving a notification about an executable being blocked every 5-10 minutes. The weird thing, it was almost always about an app belonging to Microsoft, like: OneNote.exe; iexplore.exe; snippingtool.exe and even some very well known app like AcroRd32.exe and Chrome.exe.

Now, as of this writing, things seem to have calmed down after I took the time to white-list most of them. So, I'll agree with you on the fact that it is still in its infancy or need a final polishing touch altogether in order for it to function properly. All in all, I prefer to have it on and feel safer now than being sorry later..

It turned off my secure boot and all attempts to get it back on and working have failed, i do have bitlocker working it stayed, my bios says secure boot is on but the status says its in some setup mode, this is a nightmare build , makes me wonder what MS did, i worked hard to get secure boot working on windows 10, buying a tpm and so forth to qualify, to only have it wrecked by a update. i even reset my bios turned it all back on installed the keys for it nothing works, why is it MS always breaks something lol. But on the plus side windows is working have not had a issue with it i did lock myself out of my drive LOL when i reset the bios, a rather hillarious thing i though LOL.

In a case like this, if your computer had secure boot working before the upgrade to FCU, you can either roll back to the state it was before:

or use a system image backup taken before the upgrade. From there, You can troubleshoot your PC to see if your display adapter driver is up-to-date. I would also troubleshoot Hardware & devices and even Windows update before reinstalling FCU..
