Is it just me or does windows defender shut down the oculus headset and sensor?

You know how you get that pop up 'allow this program'?
When starting a new app or game. It does shut down the oculus right and till you say allow?
I found this annoying when using the oculus deck and have to install some apps.

    No, I have Windows 10 with it and never had a problem with it messing with my Rift.

    I don't usually recommend any AV suite, though Sophos is effective.
    The free version is light and effective - good management tools too. 
    Malware bytes is ok - but Sophos can handle website page coverage as well.
