@MintyFreshSims If anything it might be the ransomware protection. Make sure to add all the exes of Sims 4 as an exception to Windows Defender Ransomeware protection.

    @MintyFreshSims Interesting. Maybe the exception did help.

    I wouldn't add whole folders though.

    Add these
    - <your installation folder>\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_DX9_x64
    - <your installation folder>\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_Launcher_x64
    - <your installation folder>\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_x64
