IPersistFile::Save failed, code 0x80070002

With enabled Controlled Folder Access of Windows 10's Defender, the setup fails to create a desktop icon (showing the message PersistFile::Save failed, code 0x80070002) - despite running with administrative privileges.

Persistfile Error

Furthermore the installed application (which is NOT run with administrative privileges) fails to write to folders of the user, e.g. Documents.

This happens even for new files or folders, which do not overwrite anything existing. This is a Windows Defender ransomware protection introduced with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.


Turn off Controlled Folder Access

Controlled Access Folder

  1. Select Start  > Settings  > Update & Security  > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
  2. Under Virus & threat protection settings, manage settings.
  3. Under Controlled folder access, manage controlled folder access.
  4. Switch the controlled folder access setting to OFF.

Good morning
The program is very good
I hope that the Arabic language catches up with it
I was unable to download the complete email files. I think AutoLock did not accept the full download. before uploading a single file. Then close the download. Attach a picture of what happened
