I have set a custom folder for screenshots
1763918372978.webp
but I get the following when capturing
1763918291403.webp
The only AV I have running is Windows Defender so how would I get around the controlled folder access feature?

Failing that, ShareX is a little quirky. Run ShareX as admin, create/save a screenshot and see if the same error returns.
