Windows defender is scanning every time im building anything in visual studio during which everything on the machine grinds to a halt. I have no idea what’s hoping to find but the experience on Windows is execrable. If im listening to some audio it starts stuttering… Very beefy machine too: thinkstation desktop, 64gb ram, 8 cores, etc etc. I stopped caring and started relaxing because it’s out of my control. And you guessed it, it’s my office machine. At home I banished windows altogether.

You can tell Defender to not scan certain directories. See 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...:

Yup. Defender is like "Oh, this game you've played for 600 hours? Let me deadlock it just in case it decided to turn into a virus"

if you are able, add your project folder as an exclusion, and maybe msbuild.exe or maybe cl etc. cant hurt tho i have to say ive never had defender (or any io hits) cause audio to stutter outside of impending bluescreen from garbage device driver tier crashes

  Corpo machine that I have no priviledges to. Thats why I gave up and learned to relax instead.

    FWIW, I've found Defender to be far less resource hungry that the likes of Mcaffee AV.

      Yah Macffee, worse than most virus in the amount of energy and time it wastes.

    Is Hyper-V enabled on your machine? If so, you could install a Windows VM, in which you could do as you needed.

    Then ask IT?

      But why? You get paid either way, what is the point?

        If you get blamed for lack of productivity, are you going to be able to point the finger that way?
