I was unable to run the V2 log collector and got this error.
WARNING: Controlled Folder Access is enabled in Windows Defender, this prevents the script from placing log files on
your Desktop.
WARNING: If you would like allow this script to run, please temporarily disable Controlled Folder Access in Windows
Defender Security Center and then re-launch this script.
I run a third party AV and was unable to disable CFA as suggested.
So I looked in the tutorials and quickly found how to do it.

I used option 4 and reversed the change after running V2.
