problems installing any MAGIX software

ran into problems trying to install magix vegas pro suite 22. the installs would fail, or never download with the download manager just sitting at 0% paused.

I checked in Settings/widows security/virus & threat protection/ransomware protection and sure enough the download manager/installer was trying to do something in my profile folders and windows was blocking it. attempts to unblock the folders failed nor was allowing programs through working either.

I had to disable controlled folder access for the install to work. then cancel the install and start it over again, it should install. remember to re-enable the controlled folder access so you will get pissed off the next time you try to install.
