    When i have Windows Defender Security Center -> Virus & Threat protection -> Virus & Threat protection settings turned on it seriously drops the framerates in the unity editor and moving objects( they are tied with deltatime ) fly over my screen...

    This behaviour does not happen when i build my project.
    This behaviour does not happen when i disable the protection settings mentioned above.

    I have reinstalled windows 10, problem remained
    I have upgraded to unity version 2017.3.1f1, older unity version had the same issues

    Unity bug or crappy coding on my end?

    Rob.

    There's been several threads on performance issues in the editor with Windows Defender. The usual advice is to add an exception for Unity so Windows Defender doesn't monitor it.
