Products and versions covered

When linking a Revit cloud model the following messaged is displayed in Revit:

The specified filename contains unsupported characters.

The Windows Master Control Panel (God Mode) has been enabled on the system/user account.

Create a subfolder and move the unnamed folder associated with the God Mode feature into the subfolder.

If moving the folder doesn't clear the issue, delete the Control Panel shortcut folder with no name to disable God Mode.

If this shortcut is not found, the following external article has information on how this mode is enabled, and could be used as a guide for disabling: How to enable the legendary 'God Mode' in Windows 10 for all the settings.
