Windows 10: This script contains malicious content been blocked by your antivirus

Starting the week of October 4, Microsoft Defender started to block the execution of a VBS file in my Startup folder that invokes various other programs via SHELL.Run statements. It's the Run statements that get flagged. I wrote this script myself, so I know it's safe. Is there any way to whitelist this script so that Defender doesn't block it? Or, instead of invoking it directly, can I create a scheduled task at startup that triggers the script without Defender interfering?


Interestingly, I can manually trigger the script at some indefinite time after the PC starts up and the script runs normally. Is this time period documented anywhere?
