Help With Saving Games Please

Football Manager 2022 – The Game Could Not Be Saved

I have installed FM2009, which won't accept the key as it says it is temporary, even though I installed the game outside of STEAM

I also installed FM2010 and it didn't ask for a key, but is blocking me (see above link) all the way until it says "Actions". (see link, although my windows 11 screen is different and doesn't ask for Actions)

I have rebooted the PC with ransomware turned off, but still the PC won't save games. It works perfectly otherwise.

 

https://www.windowsdigitals.com/explorer-exe-blocked-by-windows-defender-or-firewall/ I've discovered by accident, that this has been blocking the above (i think).

Its all very confusing. I have enabled explorer.exe from the screen as shown in my controlled folder access.

Is this the right thing to do ? What should I do ?

 

I have now found, through accident and searching, that in the Ransomware control folder, that it was blocking my %userprofile%\pictures and blocked process was explorer.exe

So i followed what i had found earlier somewhere, and enabled the Actions Tab (which is the first time anything gave me that option at all) to allow on the device.

The save game now works.

Is thos all safe please, or should i reverse what has happened here, or what should I do, if anything.

Its all very confusing.

This supercedes the previous post
