My Windhawk mod DLLs are being constantly deleted and targeted by Windows Defender, last month I had over 20 of them get cleared at once. It doesn't seem to actually have an effect on the mods running, they just keep going without issue, but this is getting really annoying. Every time it happens I have to manually clear my Defender history because it can't restore/remove the files, it asks daily to take action but cannot.
Defender works fine otherwise for me. Here's what it's showing as, always trojans: |

Just exclude ProgramData\Windhawk from scanning.

Just exclude ProgramData\Windhawk from scanning. I had done this in the past but for some reason it was gone from the exclusion list, I just re-added it and hopefully I won't have the problem again. |

Windows Defender is a nightmare, just disable it cuz it never remembers the exclusion list

Personally, I just have it set to exclude the root folders of all drives in my computer, and I haven't had any issues with that. What benefits are there to nuking Defender altogether?
