So I checked on both win10 computers, home and pro, and they both say,
Page not available   Your IT administrator has limited access to some
areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available.
Contact IT  helpdesk for more information.  

I thought I was the IT adminstrator, but I guess you guys are the
helpdesk.  But it's not important.  I'm phasing out the win10 ocmputers
and Controlled Folder Access was never an issue with them anyhow.
