[QUOTE="plat, post: 894673, member: 74969"] Well, the HWINFO developer responded to my post and what ended up happening was I allowed HWINFO64 thru as a Trusted App. What I didn't know was that there was a "hidden" protected folder called Device\CdRom0 that HWINFO64 tried to access. This info is obtained from Protection History and you can allow the app in question to be whitelisted directly from there in "Controlled folder access settings." As usual, another mysterious thing courtesy of Microsoft. 😣 For crying out loud. :rolleyes: But I'm keeping it enabled for now, just need to be aware of off-the-wall things like this. :D [/QUOTE]
