[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 811298, member: 37647"] You can configure Defender without it, either by Powershell commands or by GroupPolicy. But it is more complicated that way. If you use CD recommended settings, it is not dangerous. If you enable protections that are not on the recommended settings, it might interfere with some software. If that happens, you just untick the protection that caused issues, and all is well. Be forewarned that Controlled Folder Access is one of Microsoft's most poorly implemented features. You might have to do a lot of whitelisting, depending on your software and user habits. [/QUOTE]
