Windows 10: Windows defender prevents legitimate software installation

I'm constantly running into problems installing new versions of Assimilate Scratch because of idiotic windows defender glitches. Sheer idiocy like not being able to run an installer, even in admin mode. This is unacceptable. Completely unacceptable. Fix the piece of garbage or get rid of it, stop wasting my time with this defective trash.


It's also a massive performance problem, which is another colossal defect that you should not have allowed out in the wild.

Windows update and windows defender issues

We suggest you to avoid installing any cleaner or anti-virus software that may interrupt the function of Windows Defender. Make sure that Windows Defender is always on. To do this follow these steps:

• On the Start menu, type Windows Defender and hit enter.
  
• Click Settings.
  
• Turn Real-time protection on.

We also recommend you to install the latest update for Windows Defender.

Should you have further questions, feel free to get back to us.

 

What the hell, windows defender?

Miners? Pretty sure no one claimed their miner program was disabling Windows Defender.

The fact WD is tagging a miner program merely suggests the miner program is doing something in an unusual, thus suspicious way. Should WD know that particular miner program is legit? Probably. Do you expect WD (or any security program) to automatically know every single legitimate program out there - even every time they are updated? I don't.

BTW, are you reporting that miner program to Microsoft as legit? If not, then you are part of the problem.

I agree with that. But it just does always work that way with computers in general.

My ISP sent out an update to my cable box/DVR. Suddenly all my scheduled programs had to be rescheduled. Half of my installed programs on this Windows computer I have to tell the installer I want it installed on D drive, not C. That's not Windows fault.

When there are major changes to a program, I can see where defaults may be reset.

As for UAC, as I said above, mine have never been changed back. Other changes I make stick.

As for enabling WD when you have disabled it AND you have no AV installed, I think MS is erring on the right side of that one - not you.
