The status of all scan history can be viewed in the "History" section of Raven Desktop. If you determine that scans are being successfully sent to cloud destinations, such as Raven Cloud, but are not successful to local folders on your computer, there could be permissions issues blocking the saving of those scans.
With the release of Windows 10, Microsoft added a new feature called Controlled Folder Access (CFA) to Windows Defender Exploit Guard. This features allows users to control which processes can access certain folders to help protect data from malicious programs. It is possible that Windows Defender and Controlled Folder Access is blocking the saving of scans to the folder.
