Issue Update/Install and Defender

When I have to update or reinstall Synapse, I always have to disable Defender protection, will it be possible to fix this in the future? I can understand if it happened with 3rd party AV, but this is the native Windows AV, it should have some priority...

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

I do not use Windows AV (I use Norton).  In Norton, I can specify a trusted process (e.g. IB TradeStation, which also auto updates frequently) so the process is allowed to replace files.

 

Not sure whether Windows AV has the same.  I guess Windows AV does not think Synapse should be a trusted process :-)

With Defender can be specify files and folders to exclude from scanning, however I don't like excluding the entire folder where Synapse installs, and I have no idea which specific files are causing the problem. Some time ago it was the folder where the uninstallation files were placed, but one of the last times I tried, just excluding that folder didn't work.
