Windows has a new feature called "Controlled Folder Access", it is a security
mecanism that protect from ransomware. It is a great idea, but the
implementation is annoying. It block write access to selected directories, so
lot of software fail to add a link to the desktop, or add files in the
Documents folder. It should have protect agains delete not new file creation.
Also the default Defender antivirus is so slow, it make the installation of
software package 2 or 3 slower.

To protect from ransomware you need to at least prevent modification of
existing files.

Which he did not argue against. He said that creating new files should still
be possible.

Well he only mentions delete. Do the Windows permissions actually make a
meaningful distinction between create and modify? I think that might have been
difficult to do without completely rewriting a lot of stuff.
