Windows Security Center increases run time of programs

Question

Whenever I open PyCharm program in Windows 10, Windows Security Center starts analysing it and it slows down the loading process for opening this program. Is there any way that Windows Security Center would ignore this program whenever it runs?

Answer 1

From here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4028485/windows-10-add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security

1. Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
2. Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions.

3. Select Add an exclusion, and then select from files, folders, file types, or process. The exclusion will apply to subfolders within a folder as well.
