    How do I Stop Windows Defender From Following my Backup Program Around my PC like a Sad Puppy?


    I am sick to death of my machine that has a fast SSD have all its resources gobbled up by Windows Defender each time I turn my machine on. My hypothesis is thus: When I turn my PC on my backup programs does a quick look of all the thousands of files it is designated to keep backed up on my machine to see if last modified date and time differs from the online copies.. This is a very quick process because it is simply access that last modified bit of metadata. However, judging by the activity observed in resource monitor, it appears Windows Defender follows my backup software around my PC like a

    Sad Puppy

    OK. I'm a sad puppy. LucidPuppy couldn't see the drive. As a last ditch effort to try to do something, I tried to initialize the disk from Disk Management and the process couldn't find the disk when I attempted to initialize a MBR. I also tried a GPT but the process told me that the disk was too small for a GPT. The properties of the disk show 0 mb.

    Looks like I'll order a new HDD and cry over the lost pictures.

    Many Many thanks to jumanji, Megahertz and everyone else who posted and tried to help. You guys (gals?) are stars!

    Most probably.

    We can still make a last-ditch effort to check whether Live Linux can access the disk.

    Download lupu-528.005 ISO by clicking on this link https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinu...pu-528.005.iso
    Create a bootable pendrive with this ISO using Rufus Rufus

    Boot your system with lupu on the pendrive using onetime boot menu.

    If Lucid Puppy can see your drive ,copy all data to another drive.

    The instructions direct the lupu installation to a pen drive. I assume that installing to a CD/DVD would also work. Correct?
