[QUOTE="plat, post: 898268, member: 74969"] Controlled Folder Access is ON and I'm trying to stick with it, I really am. But I feel like it's slowly becoming like a Swiss Cheese with all the apps and services let thru in order for even Windows things to WORK. :mad: Latest example? Allowing a svchost thru so that XBox game bar can access my hardware and then simply record. It seems CFA is process-agnostic obviously, but when does all this whitelisting get to the point where you're like--"forget it"? I'm not there yet but I've had to allow a bit much so far. If anyone can offer a rough comparison of whitelisting efforts between Controlled Folder Access and a third party counterpart, I think that would be a very valuable thing. [/QUOTE]
