Is it okay to disable Microsoft Defender warnings without fixing the underlying issue?
Answered
I know how to correctly exclude all IntelliJ folders from Microsoft Defender and disable the IntelliJ warning. I'm wondering whether excluding the folders is important enough to have my Intro CS students jump through all those hoops or if I can tell them to just disable the warnings. The students will have small projects only and will not be using git.

If it doesn't affect the performance of your projects, feel free to disable the warnings.
Thank you. What I'm asking is whether it would be likely to affect the performance of small student projects.
We don't know. It depends on the project and what libraries/SDKs they use. You can only do the test yourself.
JDK installation is 300+ MB. If the antivirus scans it, it may be still slow depending on your hardware, even with an empty project.
