Windows defender and Chrome preferences submit

Hi all!

I don't know why but my Windows Defender insists to submit a file named Preferences located normally at C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default at every login, reboot, and time to time...

Of course I deny it. Why on Earth should I submit my Chrome preference config file to Microsoft? The WD don't catch any threat anyway and its behavior seems to suspicious and boring.

Any clue?

Have you place a exception for that folder.

No, I never touched that before. Should I?

Yes you should.

Ok, so I have to consider a new feature, as it just started with 1709 build 16299.19.
Thank you!

We are glad to hear your issue has been resolved, thank you for letting us know that all is now well!
