Defender ate the loader twice. Proper exclusion path — folder level, not single file?

Exclude the full delivery folder. Restore from Protection history, then exclude before relaunch.

Same idea for Malwarebytes etc. — allowlist folder, reboot, one load attempt. Still Updating on site? Don’t bother until clear.
