Guild Wars 2

My computer stops responding ( freezing ) when i run GW2 with Windows Defender On ( enabled ). Putting Gw2.exe on Defender exception list, wont fix the problem. I am sure it is Windows Defender problem because, when i run GW2 with Defender Off, and then enable it, my pc stops responding. I have this problem for years, but only now i figure out how to fix it, by disable Windows Defender. When i play GW2 and Defender kicks in (randomly, if is enabled), i think, it will scan the memory, and corrupt/freeze the data, then my pc stops responding.

Use a different malware program, like Malwarebytes? Same, (or better), protection – alleviates the issue.

Good luck.

But Windows Defender is default in Windows 10, and i can’t say if is possible to uninstall.

I found another fix, when Windows Update automatically (random) update my pc, when i play GW2, then, my computer stops responding (freezing). To temporary disable Windows Update i did: Administrative Tools > Services > Windows Update (wuauserv) > Stop > Manual to Disable
