Hi, I found out that Windows Defender is the main bottleneck of my script that needs to read around 14 000 pdf files.


When I scan a single one of those pdf, windows defender takes around 4 seconds to scan it and shows that there were 760 files scanned.

If I rerun the scan on the same folder in the following 15 or 30 minutes, the scan is instantanuous and displays that only one file was scanned.


How can I solve this issue or elevate it so that it is fixed. I often create processes that needs to be able to run io intensive jobs so I will be forever thankfull I anything helps. (I dont have admin rights, so I can't exclude files to scan)


See this thread that I made for more info: Python: Why opening an XFA pdf file takes longer than a txt file of same size?
