  I've had my first error, can't start on my Sims 4 game in over 6 years and it is all Windows 10's fault not Maxis (unless they sort it out with them. I've updated to the latest one this week.
  You have to allow Windows Defender to allow the what it calls an App. through and if you go to the Windows Defender settings you'll Virus & threat protection
  
  Virus & threat protection settings
  
  Manage settings
  
  Controlled folder access
  
  Allow an app through controlled folder access
  
  then + Add an allowed app
  
  and if you are lucky you'll find TS4_64.exe already there
  
  and just add it
  
  Found something about this in Windows Answers but this has only happened to me today.
  
  Good luck Simmers. I'm getting so fed up with Windows 10 updates but it's sure keeping my mind alert!

    Of course I found it there after failing to start Sims 4 in Origin first so you might save yourself the problem of finding the .exe file by trying to succeed or fail in the Origin app first! Defender is kind enough to list it for you ready to add.
