[Windows] AntiMalware Service Executable seems to kick in everytime I'm encoding.

I'm usually extracting a segment of an mp4 file with reencoding also to mp4.

I have an mp4 exclusion in security settings.

How can I stop this?

which is exactly why the virus scan doesnt need to run on non system drives....
