Hi,

I'm Pedro A, Independent Advisor

Initially we will try to solve the problem with the following procedure:

I would like to suggest you perform the commands in CMD, but in safe mode with networking.

Try taking a test and see if it helps you

• Safe Mode

Press Win+R keys

When opening the "Run" window, type the command: msconfig

The window will open titled "System Configuration"

Then click on the "Boot" tab and "Boot Options"

Check "Safe Boot" and select "Network"

After that, click OK, restart your Windows

After Windows restarts in safe mode open CMD in administrator mode run the commands

sfc /scannow

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• To disable safe mode

Press Win+R keys

When opening the "Run" window, type the command: msconfig

The window will open titled "System Configuration"

Then click on the "Boot" tab and "Boot Options"

Uncheck "Safe Boot" option

Click OK, restart your Windows

If you have already performed this procedure, please let me know.

Answer 3

I just noticed that this is happening in any new directory I create in the same subdirectory as the problem one ie all of these directories are under a directory called current. There are dozens of subdirectories and this is happening in the one that got this started and any new ones I make here

Answer 4

Hi,

Thanks for answering

Let's try another solution:

Settings > Update and Security > WIndows Security > Virus & threat protection > Virus & threat protection settings > Controlled folder access > Manage controlled folder access >

Make sure the "Controlled folder Access" option is enabled

If it is, disable this option and click “Yes” in the popup confirmation window.

It's off. Same Thing
