Sorry not 100% this is in the right place. I did search the forum to see if someone else had posted about this first and I didn't spot anything so again sorry if it's a duplicate
After the recent Windows update I am getting the following error when converting books in Calibre.
Code:
Unauthorised Changes Blocked:
Controlled folder access blocked C:\...\calibre-parallel... from making changes to the folder G:\...\Calibre Library ....
Picture of error:
I have added all the exe files in C:\Program Files\Calibre2 but I'm still getting it.
It is super annoying as I can't expand that error message to see the file location and if I click on it it just takes me to the 'Allow an App through Controlled Folder Access' page and the error disappears (Stupid MS!).
Like I said I have added all the exe files in the Calibre directory to this list already, as you will see here C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre-parallel.exe is already in the allowed list:
I figured it might be a common/shared file that isn't in the aforementioned directory, although I find it highly unlikely that it would have the same name as a file that is in the main directory but I did a search (including hidden files etc.) for 'calibre-parallel' just to be on the safe side and all that comes back is the file already added to the allowed list and a prefetch file.
I will of course raise the fact that Defender seems to be ignoring the 'Allowed App' list with Microsoft but I am just wondering if anyone else had this issue and fixed this?
I have done a workaround by excluding my Calibre Library directory from this feature but ideally I would like to fix it... grr (I hate when things don't work as intended).
