Windows Notification issue leads to "Protected folder access blocked" in Windows Security

[243JohnM]

I am getting a Windows Notification that leads to a message in Windows Security.

This is the Windows Notification:

Windows Security
Virus & threat protection
Unauthorized changes blocked
Controlled folder access blocked UniGetUl.exe from making changes. Click to see settings.

When I click to see the settings, I see a message saying "Protected folder access blocked". When I looked, I found that this message was in Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Protection history:

Protected folder access blocked
Date Time Low

Your administrator has blocked this action.

App or process blocked: UniGetUl.exe
Protected folder: %userprofile%\Documents\UniGetUl\

Blocked by: Controlled folder access
You can allow apps to access your protected folders, but you should only allow apps that you trust.

Controlled folder access settings

Actions > Allow on device

I presume that allowing UniGetUI access to that protected folder is OK. But I am always wary of overriding Windows Security!

What does UniGetUI want to do in %userprofile%\Documents\UniGetUl?

Thanks very much,

John

If you have package backup enabled, it will put the backup there

Thanks Martí Climent (@marticliment)! Now that I know there is no problem, I will override UAC on that folder for UniGetUI.

Thanks again,

John
