Running those trainers as an administrator might help.
I mean obviously I've tried that.
I had the same thing start today. I used the Craftopia trainer last night. Today, it will not launch when run from Explorer. None of the new RGB trainers I have will run when launched from my trainers folder via Explorer.
HOWEVER, in trying to sort everything out, I installed Trainer Manager 2 (to use the temp cleaner), and I can launch the trainers from there just fine. If I go back to explorer and try to execute the trainer directly, it fails to launch. I'm not sure what changed to suddenly impact all of the new trainers, but I'm not going to spend a ton of time on it since they will launch from TM2.
Probably a background security software update, is that folder excluded from scans?

Yes, all recommended exclusions are in place. I'm guessing some Win10 update strangeness, as my system updated again yesterday and now all of the new trainers are working again when run directly from explorer.
