## proxspace 'file not found or locked' on Windows 11
^[Top](#top)

if you receive an error "file not found or locked" for any operation that needs to write a file.

The cause is that Windows locks down many folders as 'read only', and you can't easily change this setting.

How to fix (use this at your own risk):

```
Open your Windows Settings Control Panel
Then select "Privacy and security"
Then select "Windows Security"
Then select "Virus & threat protection"
Then scroll down and select "Manage ransomware protection"
Then select "Allow an app through Controlled folder access"
Answer "Yes" to allow this app to make changes to your system
Then select "Add an allowed app" to select the proper "proxmark3.exe" in the client folder.
Potentially also do:
Select "Recently blocked apps"
Then select the most recent "proxmark3.exe" by pressing the "+" next to it.
Then select "Close".
Side note:
You may also be able to choose "Browse all apps" and find your specific proxmark3.exe in the client folder but
be sure to choose the proper location and specific file in case you have more than one stored on your PC somewhere.
```
