Middle-Earth: Shadow of War Message Board  

Try adding this to you anti-virus exclusion list

C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Cheathappens

Which A/V is it, can you turn off LIVE SCANNING?

Bitdefender Total Security and i have auto scanning off.

Advanced Threat Defense, is that off as well?

OK for now delete anything in these folders

C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Cheathappens\Work

And report that the trainer needs updated to latest version. I see the Devs posted about game update around 2 hours ago.

Please use the update notification system to report a game patch, update or to report that the trainer may not be working with the latest version of the game. If 3 or more reports have been filed, consider BOOSTING the priority of this title for a faster turnaround on the updated trainer.

Best to wait for an updated trainer before more troubleshooting.

Shadow of War PC Patch Notes: v1.09
General Stability:
Fixed an issue for some players where Windows Defender was blocking access to save files, which resulted in a crash on launch.
Additional Details on this change:
Migrated saved data files from the Documents folder to the AppData\Local folder.
We now present an error message when the game is unable to access the saved data location.
Previous saves will still appear in the My Documents folder and can be used as backup.
