Ah, I did try running the analyzer but I suppose JRWorker is only used for auto-import, which would explain why I only ever noticed it running when a new podcast episode is downloaded.

That seems smart.

I just did a clean install of the Fall Creators Update on one of my PCs and MC seems to be working fast and flawlessly as-is...
But I will probably end-up creating exclusions in Windows Defender just in case it does slow MC down eventually...
I had Mcafee on that same machine and never will install that crap again on any of my PCs...I gave it a try as it was provided for free by my Internet Service Provider... Bloated bloated bloated...
This is a great post and the How-to should definitely be on the Wiki. Good Job Awesome Donkey thanks for taking the time!

This is great stuff Awesome Donkey. I asked for this several months ago after the Fall Creators Update came out but got no response; guess it was too early for anyone to figure it all out as it is very complicated.
One thing though, this is VERY complicated stuff for the average user who will never attempt it.
I think what is needed is a script, bat file or better yet, auto detection upon installing MC that automatically adds all the correct locations, folders & files to Defender exclusions.
The real problem I have always had with manually adding Defender exclusions is that next time when we go to MC 24 all those MC23 exclusions become useless (I ALWAYS forget to update them). The only way I see to keep them current is to have MC itself automatically add the exclusions.
What do you guys think ::)

You can write a script in powershell for this
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-itpro-docs/blob/master/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/configure-extension-file-exclusions-windows-defender-antivirus.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn455323(v=vs.85).aspx
e.g.
--- Code: ---Add-MpPreference -ExclusionProcess "C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 23\Media Center 23.exe"
Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath "C:\My\Music\Folder"
--- End code ---

I suspect that any application that tried to create Defender exclusions for its own executables would trigger a security response. Imagine if any application, or its installation script, could do that! What do you think?
But an Admin user running a script as per Mattkhan's suggestion would be allowed.
