Hi,
when running test on Agent (Windows 10 VM) noticed that windows antivirus protection takes ~100%CPU when starting the test.
If I disable Real-time protection, problem is gone.
There is said that "You can turn it off for a short time...before it turns back on automatically"
Can I add all Ranorex stuff to exclusions "Add or remove items that you want to exclude from Windows Defender Antivirus scans" or what is the best practice? Can I disable this anti-virus totally?

Re: Agent & Real-time protection
Hi,
I guess there is no best practice.
I would just try it out.
1. Adding Ranorex (and all related files, e.g. test executables, related folders) to the exlusion list
2. Disabling real-time protection if step 1 does not help
Cheers,
Robin

I'm pretty sure you can, but I would clarify that with your internal ITCan I disable this anti-virus totally?

Hi RobinHood42,
I tried to do this:
1. Adding Ranorex (and all related files, e.g. test executables, related folders) to the exlusion list
...but it did not help. I quess I must have forget to add something there.
Is there a check list what is needed to be added to this exclusion list?

Re: Agent & Real-time protection
Hi,
I would add the complete installation folder (including all sub-folders and files) and your complete Ranorex solution folder (including all sub-folders and files). If this doesn't help, you will have to disable the real-time protection.
