+    Use Windows-I to open the Settings application.

+    On the page that opens, select Virus & threat protection settings.
+    Make sure that real-time protection is enabled.
+    Locate Controlled Folder Access on the page, and switch its toggle to on.

+    The list of folders that are protected by Controlled Folder Access is displayed when you click on the link. Windows Defender protects some folders automatically; these are:
+    User: Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music, Desktop, Favorites
+    Public: Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music, Desktop
+
+    You cannot remove these default folders, but you can add custom folder locations so that the added folders are protected by the security feature as well.
+    Click on "add a protected folder" to select a local folder and have it added to the protected folders listing.
