Reply To: Can Axcrypt be used with Win10 Controlled folder access enabled? If so, how?

[BobS]

I’m pretty certain that I set up AxCrypt in the standard manner (it’s not complicated, and I’ve used the program for years, although before now only with Windows 7 and earlier), and there definitely are three executables there: AxCrypt.exe, AxCrypt2Go.exe and AxDecrypt.exe. Whether I select only the first one or all three, Controlled folder access doesn’t allow AxCrypt to access files. The other apps that I set up through “Allow an app through controlled access” work just fine, but in order to use AxCrypt I have to disable the Controlled folder access feature. Since the other apps do work, I’m wondering what it is specifically about AxCrypt leads to the problem I’m having. I’d appreciate any thoughts you have on the subject.

Thanks.
