Big bang theory<\/p><\/div>\n

Windows10 slipped in a new malware feature.<\/h3>\n

I discovered I couldn\u2019t save documents or any output from my applications to my desktop. I was trying to do \u201csave as\u2026\u201d within the application to put say\u2026 an Aspire G-Code file on my desktop. The \u201csave as\u201d would \u201cact\u201d like a \u201csearch command\u201d and report to me that the document name couldn\u2019t be found.<\/p>\n

A totally ambiguous response.<\/p>\n

Six months ago, Windows10 added a new \u201cprotection\u201d to save users from \u201cRansomeware.\u201d It blocks \u201csave\u201d access to all what it considers \u201ccritical\u201d Windows directories including the desktop, where some evil-doer may place a Ransomeware file. Evil-doers includes the logged in user, me.<\/p>\n

I have been getting phony Ransomeware emails saying my email and my computer were hacked and they were spying on all my personal activities. I remember checking that all firewalls and Windows security was on. That\u2019s when I must have enabled the new “Anti-Ransomware” feature without realizing how it would block my normal activities.<\/p>\n

I certainly turned the protection on, as I don\u2019t think it is auto enabled. My world would have exploded by now… It happened on \u201cIronsides\u201d but not my NUC or my SURFACE Win10 computers.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t know or certainly understand the consequences.<\/p>\n

I was going almost nuts trying to figure out why my applications were suddenly \u201cbroke\u201d. I have an app called Artisteer I use to create website templates. Suddenly I couldn\u2019t save templates to the desktop.<\/p>\n

Then I noticed the same problem with other apps like Vectric Aspire<\/p>\n

I reloaded several apps because I thought they were \u201cbroken\u201d when I couldn\u2019t save to the desktop.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t use my Ironsides computer for everyday activities, so it took me a while to discover what was happening.<\/p>\n

Eventually, I figured it had to be my good buddy WIN10, as auto updates occur with great regularity. A \u201csymptoms search\u201d on the internet immediately returned the root cause. I am not the only person \u201cinflicted\u201d with sudden anti-save behavior.<\/p>\n

Gee, thanks WIN10 for protecting me yet again from myself. But the protection created a self-inflicted wound\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
