SC triggering continuous Anti Malware scans

For some reason, Sierra now sets off constant Anti-malware in Windows 11. This is causing a huge performance hit to the platform when using.

If I close Sierra, the CPU usage goes back to flat.

Only way I can find to mitigate this is to exclude SC install folders from anti-malware scans (which I'd rather not do). When I do this, CPU usage is normal and no problems. Anti-malware CPU usage drops to zero.

I'm sure this is not a priority but would be nice to keep AM on without taking the huge performance hit. Any idea why I might be running into this all of a sudden?

This is what you must do:

You cannot have Sierra Chart being scanned. It will create a significant performance issue. There is no other possibility. It is standard procedure to not have Sierra Chart be scanned.
