Spring Creators Update, as developed up to today 7 March 2018, does not have this featured to "on" by default, but it does have an indicator saying that's it's advised to turn it on which is a typical way of Microsoft saying "it's going to be on by default in feature updates" and later on will probably not even have an "off" option. Typical Microsoft.... Anyhow, for now you don't have to worry for the next 1-2 major updates but yea... A solution will be needed later on.jsmorley wrote:We are exploring alternatives to address this. Nothing decided yet, and may not be until we see what if anything they do with this in the next Spring Creators Update of Windows arriving soon.
It's quite tricky. While this Controlled Folder Access setting is "off" by default today, if a user turns it on, or if worse yet, Windows decides to default it to "on", this is going to cause massive headaches.
Yeah, I'm not inclined to change users Windows settings, or try to trick Windows in any way, and I don't think any approach that leaves Skins in the Documents folder is going to be seamless for users in the long run.kyriakos876 wrote:I'm also currently examining a solution that is going to present rainmeter as an app (like trusted and downloaded from the store) thus solving the issue forever without telling the user how to protect their PC's. Thought from what I've read in random posts, you don't like this kind of solutions but hey, I like rainmeter and I don't want it to die like that. It's my hobby after all.
