There is an extra level of protection, that I suspect very few users are 
aware of, or make use of, it's quite convoluted to reach ...

Start
Settings
Windows Security
Virus & threat protection
Manage Ransomware protection
Controlled folder protection = on/off

Do you have that enabled? To be clear, I'm not recommending that you 
enable it.
