I've enabled the Ransomware protection by Windows that protects files, folders, and memory areas, on my game rig and MSIAFterbruner.exe keeps trying to access %userprofile%\pictures. I'm assuming it's harmless and for their screenshot tool but it seems kinda peculiar.

That seems normal to me for screenshot purposes.

If you downloaded Afterburner directly from MSI (or from a place where you know it's legit), I just would give the app permission.
