Set a file exclusion for ProjectInfinity.exe. Under Virus & Threat Protection, go to Manage Settings and Add or Remove Exclusions. The only thing I can think of is to try to go through these steps if you haven't already:ġ.

ANd I'm doing this on my Win10 laptop now, so it *should* work. I have to go into an Actions pulldown menu and select 'Allow'. I scan the file, it reports a severe threat. Well, if anyone else gets this problem - which seems inevitable - at least they can look at posts like these and hopefully solve their problems. Especially as so many people have encountered this specific issue. I know the Windows operating systems have always had issues but I'm thinking Project Infinity should have been constructed differently, if possible. That's a lot to go through for a mod manager. After that, you can then launch Project Infinity as many times as you want while keeping your Real-Time Protection on. You can then choose to allow the threat permanently.

Windows will then ask what you want to do with the threat.

A window will pop up and the file will be scanned as a Trojan. Right-click the Project Infinity exe file and select 'Scan with Microsoft Defender'. One last thing: I managed to bypass turning off Real-Time Protection to get it to work just now!
