    Hi @Pepe, 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    Do you mean that the Windows Defender is blocking your VS2022 from running? Or you are unable to open the C# application in VS2022? If you have any error messages or warnings, please share them with us. 

    Please ensure that you have necessary permissions to system-level files or drivers, and run VS as administrator. 

    You can try to add your VS process or source folder to the Excluded items in Windows Defender settings:

    Settings > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Manage settings > Exclusions > Add or remove exclusions 

    Besides, the issue is more related to Windows Defender. You can also report it on Microsoft Defender forum. Thanks for your understanding! 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
