My main gripe is Windows Defender. I have an app that integrates with Home Assistant and Windows keeps flagging a component as a Trojan virus. Makes sense, as it's supposed to access admin level functions to read some sensors and enable remote power control.
But for years I've seen MsMpEng.exe, or the antivirus, constantly scan my 4TB HDD, either looking for viruses or doing some stupid NTFS remapping thing. It's loud and only spun up when idle on Win10, but became more aggressive on Win11 with less time to start scanning and not stopping when I move the mouse.
The latest development with breaking my app just means I'm more vigilant in turning the entire antivirus off when it turns on and starts scanning.
That makes no fucking sense. Kernal level driver accesses sensors. User mode driver reads that stuff and provides API access to whatever app.
You've got a shitty, shitty system.
I have a volume, let's call it "Shit I put in here that I have randomly acquired over the years", mostly smallish files of any nature, text, image, executables, archives, that I've been carrying with me for over two decades, cloning from one drive upgrade to the next, surviving multiple systems. I've noticed that starting with Windows 7, defender without so much as a notification, started removing random files it deems malicious. I suspect they may have been quarantined at first, but other times outright deleted, as I'm sure the default behaviour settings have been overridden by updates numerous times.
I've had a couple executables that were doing direct memory reading and injection for some MMOs, think packet sniffing or botting/automating certain tedious tasks, and defender would eliminate the executable without so much as a warning when I have extracted backup archive of it.
Then there was the infamous case of DeCSS, and defender removing anything related to it from drives, ignoring white lists, removing it from SMBs even where it had write access, and always categorizing it as something else, now malicious.
And I'm pretty sure it also removed a copy of The Terrorist's Handbook in doc format at one point from my drive.
Why are you using a hard drive?
