  Ah. That’s very frustrating. I’m not on Windows myself but I wonder if there is any workaround. E.g. does it help to add the qBittorrent application folder as an exclusion to Windows Security? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion...

    I expect so. I didn't poke around it, past the initial message & a whitelisting / allow option. The breach of user trust, to me at least, seems to be Microsoft deciding a user installed application should not be installed, and leveraging Windows to uninstall it for the user. As noted somewhere else, there seems a big gulf between quarantining + alerting & uninstalling + deleting.

  > Windows 10 Pro This is particularly concerning given the claims that this is only supposed to affect Enterprise versions.
