I have this folder with files and every time I use these files, real-time protections is turned back on (automatically) after a couple minutes or hours and then later when ONLY I run the file, it'll delete what's it deems "necessary" and then I have to go deep into the quick-time settings to restore the files. Really annoying.

If Defender is deleting it is because it finds a malware or suspicious code.
I don't use Defender but can't you put the files on a white list so they are ignored by Defender?

You can try that, but I did not have much luck with that. Defender just ignores "malicious" exceptions and thanks to the cloud detection, it can get triggered all over again as a new detection, the same happens if you change a single letter within the file. And if it is a script, every single line is considered as a separate threat.
