Add additional applications that should be considered "trusted" by controlled folder access. These applications are allowed to modify or delete files in controlled folder access folders. Microsoft Defender Antivirus automatically determines which applications should be trusted. You can configure this setting to add additional applications. Enabled: Specify additional allowed applications in the Options section.. Disabled: No additional applications will be added to the trusted list. Not configured: Same as Disabled. You can enable controlled folder access in the Configure controlled folder access GP setting. Default system folders are automatically guarded, but you can add folders in the configure protected folders GP setting.
