On 12/13 , Windows Defender did an update and ever since I keep getting messages like the following when I try to access programs such as Carbonite, Quicken, etc. The message says:
Controlled folder Access Blocked C:\Program Folders ...qw.exe from making changes to the folder %userprofile\desktop
I have turned off the Controlled Folder Access off in Windows Defender as this error message popped up every time I wanted to access a program. I was able to get into the program but need to know what is going on and what I can do about it. Thank you.

I pay for Office365 and today an Excel file that I use, update, and have saved everyday for over a year started getting the message and I can no longer update it and save it. So just what is Microsoft doing to Excel to make it look like ransom wear all of a suden?//
Same here. Word, Excel, iexplore, etc.
MS- we need help on this
