How do you know that? Until you disable and de-install your AV software, you can't be sure. Does my statement seem kind of ridiculous? Uninstall AV software??? What am I crazy?
No, not crazy. AV has been a rather huge issue with MC for some time now. The only way to be sure is to uninstall your AV software AS A TEST. Not a permanent solution. Just a test. Then you can be sure whether or not the AV software has anything to do with the issue you are experiencing.
AV might be the cause. It might not.
But I hear you saying "It works with other software, so it must be MC's fault". It's hard to accept at first, but different music players use the OS in different ways. MC may more aggressively "touch" files which trigger AV related bugs that other software doesn't trigger. Just because it works with another software program, doesn't mean that "MC is broken".
Good luck to you.

A couple of things for my good luck;
- I work for the AV ISV running on my machine, so I know a thing or two about AV software and kernel programming, and often ridiculous claims about AV is to blame, when ISV bad coding is the cause and AV exasperates the symptoms.
- Defender is part of Win10, there is no disabling it, any ISV should make sure that their software works properly on Win10 with Defender (or other AV products).
- Any ISV that requires disabling of AV software for proper operation of their product is not worth your money when they make you vulnerable.
- If AV has been a huge issue with MC, the issue is with with MC, not AV in general, and I would be happy to help MC.
- I realize you may not represent MC or MC's official position.
But I'll humor you in the hopes of getting to a real solution.
Uninstalled my AV, disabled Defender, MC WASAPI still glitches, DirectPlay still works, Foobar2000 WASAPI still works.
