    Why does defender keeps deleting my files ?


    Hi every one please i have an issue. I did a clean installation of windows and activated it with my microsoft account. As a software developer, i downloaded Postman from the official Site and installed it But after opening it, Defender keeps sending me message saying Threads were found on my computer. And it also keeps saying that even for some system files, i dont undersand. It deleted all of my programes eg: Python, node, postman... even whrn i add those to exclusions, it still scans them. I have to reinstall each time i want to use. This anoys me. And it is even better on windows 10, on win

    :)

    Windows Defender Keeps Deleting File, Even Excluded

    So I have a .exe file to play a game. It is a small game and so the file isn't registered or anything like that.

    Windows Defender declared it a virus and deleted it, so I added it to the Exclusions list, but for some reason it keeps deleting it anyways. The only effective way to keep it is to turn off Windows Defender, but even then Defender will turn back on at some
    random point and delete it again. I have had to just keep redownloading this file to keep playing. I can't seem to find a way to stop it from doing this. Also, I am sure it is not a virus, nor has one hidden in it.

    This is super annoying, if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.

    stop defender from auto deleting files

    How do I make defender ask before deleting files it thinks are viruses? I have some files that I know are good. I have been using them for years. Defender keeps deleting them without asking me.

    Also is there way to see a list of the files defender has deleted?
