What is your opinion on smart control app?

I kept Control folder access ON for now as I can manually allow blocked actions. But I might also turn this other feature OFF in the future as I'm slowly getting tired of it too. It blocks some actions made by Steam, Ubisoft Connect, etc. when I start a particular game. Too much hassle manually allowing blocked actions.

    Instant off for me I only download programs from trusted sources so smart app control is nothing but hindrance

    It sounds like keeping Control folder access on is helping you manage security, but I totally get how it can become a hassle with apps like Steam or Ubisoft Connect constantly being blocked. If the manual allowances are getting tiring, it might be worth disabling that feature for a smoother experience, especially if you trust the apps you're using. Just be cautious about the potential security trade-off, but if you're mostly using trusted programs, turning it off could definitely save you some time and frustration.
