Window defender kept blocking my dev c++ when i tried to compile and run it even tho I added it to the exclusion list.

The problem solved when I turn off Real Time Protection.

Is there any alternative way?

Thanks in advanced

    Thanks, I already found a solution given by the advisor which is by adding the folder into the C:drive

    Hi ChaosDevil05

    You are being blocked by the Controlled Folder Access feature in Defender

    Go to Virus & threat protection - Virus & threat protection settings

    Scroll down to Controlled folder access

    Temporarily turn off Controlled Folder Access and check to see if you can compile your projects

    If so, from there, you can add Dev C++ to the list of safe or allowed apps to prevent them from being blocked

    Please do not leave Controlled Folder Access turned off permanently

    If the above does not work for you, try creating your programming projects in a different folder - not one of your User Profile Library folders, to see if you are still blocked by Controlled Folder Access . . .
