Anyone else have this issue? If so, have you found a solution, other than turning off real-time protection? Thank you.

It's generally not recommended, or necessary, to disable real-time protection, but it is recommended to exclude the profile folder from AV scanning. For Windows Security, add an exclusion in the 'Virus and threat protection settings'.
