[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 859919, member: 32260"] I asked because 12.02.2020 Microsoft patched a lot of Windows vulnerabilities. Some of them were[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B] exploited in the wild[/B][/COLOR]. So, you probably made a test at the last moment, without this update. That is good, because the Buran ransomware would be probably neutralized with this update (I am not sure about Jenkins ransomware) and we could not see the rare case of malware in the wild exploiting vulnerabilities on updated Windows 10.(y) If you made the test with the update, then we cannot exclude that the encryption of protected folders was prevented partially by closing the vulnerability (not fully by Controlled Folder Access). But anyway, Controlled Folder Access is intended to work on a well-updated system.:unsure: [/QUOTE]
