It is a good setting to know about anyway.
Search for that in the WIndows 10 settings gui.
The Windows Defender setting that alerted me is called "Controlled Folder Access". If anyone downloaded it a year or two ago (they stopped devel in 2015) and has a different hash, please speak up. I chose not to install the server portion when I installed it the first time, and it happened then also.Īnd I got it from github, which is supposed to be the definitive source for it. I'm referring to the ScpToolkit_Setup.exe for installing drivers to use PS3 & PS4 gamepads on the PC. It includes scpserver within it, I think. If you don't believe me, turn on the Windows Defender feature to block access to protected folders (it is not turned on by default), and try installing or uninstalling scptoolkit. It says "path" is a hard disk drive in what I show above, so it appers that scptoolkit tried to bypass the OS and write directly to my disk. It is common for apps to try to access your MyDocuments folder for legitimate reasons, like game saves or whatever, but they should not be accessing the Videos folder, and definitely should never ever write directly to memory. Process Name: C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exeĬontrolled Folder Access blocked C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe from making changes to memory. It does it not only when you install it, but when you uninstall it too.Ĭ:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe has been blocked from modifying %userprofile%\Videos by Controlled Folder Access.
It doesn't do it itself though, it somehow makes svchost.exe do it. If you turn on the feature in Windows Defender to have it alert you when unverified apps try to write to areas they shouldn't, and then install scptoolkit, you'll see that it tries to write to your MyVideos folder, and directly to your harddrive or memory.
