Windows defender might impact performance pycharm

After I updated my PyCharm IDE to 19.2.0 from the 19.1.2. I am getting the following warning:

"Windows Defender might be impacting your build performance. PyCharm checked 
thefollowing directories:
C:\Workspace\Projects\576_UniversityTwitter 
C:\Users\Burak\.PyCharmCE2019.2\system 
C:\Users\Burak\.gradle

Do you think that it is secure, necessary and really improve the performance?

You need to exclude those directories in your Windows Security’s Exclusion list.

  1. Type Windows Security in your windows Search bar
  2. Click Virus & threat protection
  3. Under Virus & threat protection settings header, click Manage Settings
  4. Under Exclusions header, click Add or remove exclusions
  5. Click Add an exclusion
  6. Select type Folder
  7. Enter the directory
  8. You are done

Yes it is secure, necessary and really improves the performance as the real-time scanning is enabled in Windows defender by default.

I faced the same problem with Android Studio which is from same company after the recent update. So what you can do is you will get the directory which is causing this error.

You will get the directories here

Then you need to go to Windows Defender and add these folders to the exclusion in Windows Defender or the antivirus you are using.

I did the above steps with adding exceptions to the defender, but the message in the WebStorm application did not want to disappear.

Running the WebStorm application as administrator helped me.

As described in the User guide for Android Studio:

Optimize Android Studio performance on Windows


Android Studio performance on Windows can be impacted by a variety of
factors. This section describes how you can optimize Android Studio
settings to get the best possible performance on Windows.

Minimize the impact of antivirus software on build speed

Some antivirus software can interfere with the Android Studio build
process, causing builds to run dramatically slower. When you run a
build in Android Studio, Gradle compiles your app’s resources and
source code and then packages the compiled resources together in an
APK. During this process, many files are created on your computer. If
your antivirus software has real-time scanning enabled, the antivirus
can force the build process to halt each time a file is created while
the antivirus scans that file.

To avoid this issue, you can exclude certain directories from
real-time scanning in your antivirus software.

При открытии или создании проекта в PhpStorm (скорее всего и в PyCharm) иногда может возникнуть ошибка: Windows Defender might be impacting your build performance. PhpStorm checked the following directories…

Ее можно решить нажав на пункт Fix во всплывшем окошечке или сделать все манипуляции в ручную.

Если вы решили исправить эту ошибку в ручную, то вам необходимо:

1. Зайти в «Параметры Windows».

2. Далее выбрать «Обновление и безопасность».

3. Далее «Безопасность Windows».

4. Далее «Защита от вирусов и угроз».

5. Под заголовком «Параметры защиты от вирусов и угроз нажмите» на пункт «Управление настройками».

Как исправить ошибку: Windows Defender might be impacting your build performance?

6. Пролистайте вниз до заголовка «Исключения» и нажмите на пункт «Добавление или удаление исключений».

Как исправить ошибку: Windows Defender might be impacting your build performance?

7. Нажмите на кнопку «Добавить исключение», выберите тип «Папка» и добавьте папку со своим проектом и, если вы проделываете это впервые, папку где PhpStorm хранит настройки и кэш (в моем случае C:\Users\Alex\.PhpStorm2019.3\system)

Готово.

UPD. После обновления Windows 10 до сборки 2004 появилась проблем в том, что даже при добавлении папок в исключения Windows Defender все равно возникает ошибка при каждом открытии проекта.

Пока не нашел как решить эту проблему, как только узнаю, обновлю пост.

People also ask

Does Windows Defender affect performance?

Developer claims that a Windows Defender bug could be sapping up to 6% of Intel CPU performance. Developer Kevin Glynn, aka «Uncle Webb,» has discovered a weird Windows Defender bug that causes Intel CPUs to suffer a significant performance hit on Windows 10 or 11.

Should I disable Windows Defender for performance?

On its own, it is entirely safe to disable Windows Defender. The problem arises when you disable it without providing a replacement. Make sure you have another security suite set up—and of course the onus is still on you to practice sensible safety precautions.

Does Windows Defender lower performance?

Low impact on performance. Windows Defender is designed to run smoothly on Windows systems — it hardly has an impact when idle and during scans. So it’s important to choose a lightweight Windows Defender alternative that doesn’t significantly impact your PC’s performance, such as Norton or Bitdefender.
