Question Being blocked from accessing Windows Defender! Says your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app.

[Aquation]

Hi there,

So I have recently tried to get into bitcoin mining with NiceHash, I am able to install the miner and everything but when I got to whitelist the folder in windows defender I am being blocked. I need to do this so the program does not get blocked. I have tried to just restore the programs that do get blocked in windows defender, as I do have accesses to that but new ones keep popping up associated with NiceHash and now the miner does not work at all. Since it is being blocked by windows defender. I have attached a screenshot of the message I am getting. I am not associated with a company or anything. This is my own personal PC.

Hope you can help.

Thanks,
James
