Now this is Microsoft madness heightened! Microsoft Defender now thinks The file eloquence_host32.exe is a virus. It keeps removing the file, making Eloquence for NVDA 64-bit virtually useless. I tried re-downloading and re-installing Eloquence V12, but the file gets removed as soon as I install it.

@amir @fastfinge Since my unfortunet run in on github, I do not remove windows defender. I ask AI to scan the process for a minute, and remove high CPU folders, and then selectively exclude folders where my portable apps are, and certain app configs like NVDA. Consider what you are whitelisting, says my paranoya.

@serrebi @fastfinge LOL - I just excluded the Eloquence folder inside the addons folder. But think that's a good solution.

@amir @serrebi If you want to have an item in the windows explorer context menu to exclude a folder from Windows Defender, this bat file will add that: nashcentral.duckdns.org/projects/defender.bat

@serrebi @amir The script wasn’t AI. It was written by some guy years ago.

@fastfinge @amir Ah, it's more that I checked it before running it. All of us who use AI are supposed to be lazy, don'tcha know!

@serrebi @amir The problem is there are too many people running AI who don’t actually know how to check a script. They just paste the code in and run it, then wonder why AI makes a mess.

@fastfinge @amir Not gonna lie, I've been there, with my updater situation especially.

@serrebi @amir I find that if I already knew how to do it, AI does it for me ten times faster. But if I didn’t already know how to do something, AI just makes a mess that I can neither detect or correct.
