Uninstalling Norton is not difficult... adding all the exceptions and exclusions to the Windows Defender configuration is what takes some time. In any event, using Windows Defender is not the solution to this particular problem, as it has not helped MC performance at all.
It typically "hangs" instead of crashing... but it hangs for a long time, and is completely unresponsive to any clicks, and screen goes to a faded look while a blue circle icon continues to spin. Sometimes it catches up and goes to normal, but more often than not, it stays circling until it attempts to send a report to Microsoft at which time I cancel out.
MC 29.0.81 (64-Bit)
These are the two separate errors I see in Event Viewer pertaining to MC (apologies if this is too long of a note.)
The program Media Center 29.exe version 29.0.81.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.
