    Hi Osman, this may be due to a new 'Feature' in Windows 10, please try this:

    Open Windows Defender Security Center

    Go to Virus & threat protection - Virus & threat protection settings

    Depending on your version of Windows, you may have to select 'Ransomware Protection'

    Scroll down to Controlled folder access

    Turn that option off

    Might be due to an incomplete file, if you are running Setup media of a program. Is this the case?
