Set the policy to Enabled and in the Configure the guard my folders feature dropdown menu, select Block. Double-click on Configure Controlled folder access to access the policy settings. In the left hand pane of the Group Policy Editor, go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender Antivirus > Windows Defender Exploit Guard > Controlled Folder Access. To configure CFA using Group Policies, open the Group Policy Editor by going to Start > Run and typing gpedit.msc or simply type Group Policy in the Cortana search box. Using the Group Policy Editor, network admins can easily control which users need CFA enabled and can roll out app and folder permissions across the domain very easily (Note: Group Policy Editor is not available in Windows 10 Home). Note that for this feature to work, you must be running the Windows 10 Version 1709 (FCU) or above.
This tutorial will teach you how to enable Controlled Folder Access on a Windows 10 PC using either Windows Defender or the Group Policy Editor. This feature is called ' Controlled Folder Access' and it prevents unauthorized modifications to user designated files or folders. This means, one can protect important folders from being encrypted or altered in the event of a ransomware or other malware attack. Plus, its deep integration into Windows 10 means fine-grained control and easy deployment across the domain.Ī new addition to Windows Defender in the FCU is the ability to protect certain folders or apps from being modified by external programs. While there are some great third-party security suites to choose from, Windows Defender is a fairly capable software that gets the basics right.
The FCU brings an improved version of Windows Defender - Microsoft's inbuilt all-in-one security offering. While some of the security features target enterprises, home and pro users also have a fair amount of options to play with.
The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (FCU) places a lot of emphasis on security.
