2017 prevents bash on ubuntu on windows from modifying files

Hi,

I'm trying to run bash on ubuntu on windows* to run some simple c++ but every time I try to compile a file (g++ -g -o code code.cc) I get the error message seen in the picture.

I've tried adding c:\windows\system32\bash.exe to exclusions, as well as the folder in which the code files reside c:\.................\gf2 but to no avail.

I'd rather not deactivate Bitdefender, is there a way around this problem?

Thanks

Hello,

From the looks of it was blocked by the Ransomware protection.

Have you added the exclusion on the Ransomware module or the Antivirus part of it ?

Hello,

I agree with Sorin G., adding an exclusion on Ransomware module should solve your problem.

And yeah disabling BD could be very risky business especially these days..

My advise is to add an exclusion and if that don`t help you, send a feedback so we could come up with another solution.
