Win 11 Pro not letting me download Explorer Patcher update


spapakons said:
I hadn't updated Windows 11 in my Fujitsu, it was build 22631.4037 Maybe if I install all the updates Windows Defender stops giving false positives. If it doesn't, I will consider adding the exclusions. This was the first time I ever saw a false positive for Explorer Patcher. It never did that before. The truth is we were about to watch a movie and I didn't want to invest time to fix Explorer Patcher. So I disabled Defender, updated Explorer Patcher, just in case, and we could start watching. In the past I had issues because of outdated Explorer Patcher.

AFAIK it still happens with EP 22621.3880.66.6 on Windows 11 build 22631.4169 using the latest Defender updates, but I haven't tested it myself. After adding the exclusions with the command I posted, Defender hasn't given me the false positive so, no need to temporarily disable Defender. Just be sure to also correctly specify the filepath to where you want to let your browser download the installer file like how I explained in that post.

For reasons that should be completely obvious, you don't want to add your whole Downloads folder to the list of exclusion paths, and, also be aware of the potential risk that you might still download a fake (malicious) copy of this ep_setup.exe file. But then, you probably already knew that (but others who might also be reading this might not already know it too).

I will happily throw mine away if I get a six-figure or more compensation for "psychological suffering" (I don't know the appropriate English term).

I was referring to the Legal term for "psychological suffering".

PS: I think the proper Legal term is "Mental Anguish".
