need help for qb64 - antivirus interfering with compilation

[badger]

Hello

When i try to compile code any code qb64 will lock up to ware i need to use the task manager to shut it down. I can type code but i cant compile or run it. It says starting program but that is all it does. All other software runs as expected and the windows 10 is a rather new install.

Thanks in advance for all help

fresh install of windows 10 on a ryzen 7 3800x 8 core cpu on an asrock motherboard. 32gb of memory 7 tb of hard drive space with an 800w power supply running 3gb envidia geforce gtx 1030 with 3 24 inch monitors.

@badger Are you running QB64 in a folder that is being synced to the cloud? OneDrive, Google Drive, etc?

Also, where did you unpack your qb64 folder? Some folders have restricted permissions.

I was using it just fine it just started doing this yesterday.

Hello

I run the paid version of avast it comes up and checks each time i run something i just live with that. I have qb64 on its ignore list. could that be locking up qb64 on compile and run

Yes. You need to whitelist all your qb64 folder and subfolders contents, not only qb64.exe.

Ah, yeah, reminds me of when I would code on my work PC. We used Bitdefender and it always false-flagged the QB64 directory.

Why are you using an external program like Avast? Windows Defender is totally OK, and it's free.

Sometimes external programs do add more features for security. Some people also have preference.

It's in German, but you can translate the page in English; I do it sometimes  too with pages in English to German because my English is not so well.
