Hi,
I am running the latest version of Win 10 and have activated Controlled Folder Access. It works well with one exception. I keep getting a notification that CFA has blocked an application. The name of the app being blocked in truncated in the notification area so I can't do a search for it. What I can read is c:...\OSProfileCollect... CFA is blocking this unknown app from making changes to my documents folder.
Does anyone know the full name of this app or the full path to its location? Alternatively, is there a way to make the full text of the notification visible?

Hi,
There is a possibility that this could be due to Windows Defender settings. For more information on how to unblock applications/folders in Controlled Folder Access (CFA), you can refer to the conversations on this thread.
Feel free to post again if you have other concerns.
