2) Check Controlled Access Folder and allow Vanguard’s .exe file.

– Next, scroll down and select Manage ransomware protection.
– Select Allow an app through Controlled folder access under Controlled folder access.
– Lastly, select Add an allowed app, and browse for the game’s location/directory.
– Remember to add both the game’s main .exe file and the launcher’s .exe file.
Try running the game after you change this setting. If you face the aforementioned error code again, go to the Controlled folder access setting (perform steps 1 and 2) and turn it off entirely. You shouldn’t face the error code again.
If you are using third-party antivirus software, you will have to add Call of Duty Vanguard to its list of exceptions. Open the management app of your antivirus, and look for a setting indicating ‘ransomware’, ‘add exceptions’, or ‘allowed apps’. Add the game to the allowed list, and you will be good to go.
