I know for Trainer usage that I need access to Windows Temp directory/folder, but any specific files? I am using Windows 10 and Windows Defender. Should I just allow access to the entire directory, or just the specified files? How should I go about doing this? I recently got a new laptop and want to set it up for Trainer use. Thoughts and help greatly appreciated

First run a trainer without exception rules. Should you have any issues this might help:
Temporarily disable Defender completely before you run a trainer. Open the Windows temp folder in Windows Explorer, start the trainer and look for the files that are created (same timestamp).
Most of the time it's 'CH.dll' which is important. Create an exception rule for this file in Defender.
Add an exception rule for the 'Work' folder too which is located in C:\Users\(YourWindowsUserName)\Cheathappens.
Last but not least the trainer exe itself or create one folder where you store all of our trainers in and set up a rule for this folder. - Enable Defender back again and try running the trainer.

Ok, thanks for the info
For setting this up, do I need to launch game with a Trainer, or just Trainer? I launched a Trainer by itself (Dead Space), but files were not created in Temp directory... Help appreciated

Run the trainer only. And it's always different and not universal if a trainer writes into the temp folder or creates the Cheathappens folder + sub folders in the user directory.

Where is the Temp directory in Win10? I tried several trainers by themselves, and they don't seem to be creating the files...

The location of the Windows temp folder is hidden by default.
Open Windows Explorer -> select the 'View' tab in the top left menu bar -> check 'Hidden items' on the far right of the options
Select your user directory -> you should see the 'AppData' folder now -> double click it -> select the 'Local' folder -> find the 'Temp' folder
or C:\Users\(YourWindowsUserName)\AppData\Local\Temp
