Elevator.exe

Hello, 

I suppose that the mentioned dialog occurs because of antivirus, or other security software? 

If so, please add elevator.exe to the list of exclusions of that software. All our executables are signed and scanned for viruses

Hi Konstantin,

Thanks. Can you please guide me on how to do that? I am not sure.

Here is what I see when I try and open a new project:

Thanks.

I looked up this article:

https://winaero.com/blog/exclusions-windows-defender-windows-10/

And added my projects folder to the list of exclusions:

I think it is working now. But, please leave this thread open for some time. If it appears again, I may need your help.

Thank you.

Konstantin,

One question when trying to set the exclusion for the idea64.exe file can you please tell me how to find this on my computer? I have a windows computer so what should the path be for this file so I can set this as an exclusion.

Thanks.

idea64.exe file is located in <IDE_HOME>/bin/ directory. 

<IDE_HOME> is the installation folder of IntelliJ IDEA. 

Konstantin --- how do I find the installation folder of IntelliJ IDEA on my machine? What is the default location I probably picked that when setting it up.

Typically it is C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA
