Help Needed: Razer Cortex Conflicts with Windows Defender on External Drive

Hi,

I'm not sure if I'm in the right place, but I wanted to report that Razer Cortex is causing me issues with Windows Defender. I'm not sure if it's some kind of incompatibility or a strange error, but every time I start Cortex, Windows Defender increases CPU usage by about 10-15%. I've noticed this happens when my external hard drive, a 1TB Toshiba, is connected, seeming like Cortex is trying to access it in a loop while Windows Defender is monitoring that action. I've tried including exclusions for both the Razer folder and executable, as well as the external drive... with no results.

Is there any solution other than disconnecting the drive? It's quite annoying, and I really enjoy the advantages and optimizations Cortex provides to my PC whenever I want to play.

Thank you very much in advance.
