Big problem for me.

The topic has been discussed here many times, so how can we not add the simplest solution as a note:
In Windows you should avoid installing all that stuff in the so-called home directory. Win Defender monitors this meticulously, and rightly so.

The simplest solution is to partition your hard drive into C:\ and D:\ and then install things like QB64, C/C++, etc. on drive D:\. I have never had any problems with that.

Don't know about everyone else, but I find it much easier to just install qb64pe in some folder other than the root c:\ folder. Never had any issues with MS Defender, this way. Seems easier than having to repartition the SSD or HDD?
