Windows Defender Doesn't Like OOTP20

TomVeal · 03-22-2019, 07:30 PM

On both my desktop and my laptop, each running Windows 10, Windows Defender tries to block OOTP20 from installing. I told the machines to go ahead and install it, but the experience was disconcerting.

Same here. Had to give permission for installing.

I've also had much the same experience. I've been able to work around it fine, but it is a new thing and I'm not sure what happened to trigger this response.

It may be something new with Windows Defender. All of my sports games are getting the same treatment. It's easy to get around.

Those warnings should go away as there is more file reputation. Spikes of unknown files (not yet used by many or not yet identified as valid and clean) may trigger these warnings.
I doubt we will see the warnings tomorrow.

Even though I have OOTP set as an exception in defender, I still get the warning when downloading so I Have to tell it to accept it..
