    Can you disable it via powershell (Set-MpPreference -EnableControlledFolderAccess Disabled)? See this tutorial: How to Enable or Disable Windows Defender Exploit Guard Controlled Folder Access in Windows 10

  • @Tetsujin Ransomware protection is a new feature of Windows 10. How is this a customer support question?

    @Tetsujin Yeah, I didn't know it existed either until I found it by accident. It is part of the niew Windows Security Suite, as a link all the way on the bottom. What it does is prevent any app from modifying files in a given folder.

    @Dhiman Dutta, you should be able to simply turn it off from the settings the same way you turned it on. If that doesn't work, please edit the question and provide details of what you get instead. Do you get an error message, if so, what is the error message?

Ok so I finally was able to disable the feature. It was that the system was glitching out so after shutting the system for long time then again starting it I the first notification I got is from windows defender and so I clicked it so directed me to the place where the feature is and I simply disabled it.
