Slamb Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Once or twice a day, the launch of Paint.net takes forever, maybe half a minute or even more. I found this topic and adding Paint.Net folder to Defender exclusions seems to fixed the problem. But why Defender thinks theres something suspicious in Paint.Net? 🤔 I dont use any plugins, any modifications, only clean portable app without any tweaks. I tried deleting whole app, whole settings in AppData, but with no effect. There wasnt such problem with 4.3 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slamb Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 I just wanted to be sure if something wrong didn't happen to new Paint 🙂 Started a topic on Microsoft forum 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Could be related to this. If I can find a way to sign all of the DLLs without extending my build time by a crazy amount (it adds 30 minutes), that might help.

Slamb Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 i dont know how all these things work, but i understood you need some free timestamp server that does not have rate limiting 🤔 i tried to find some and found this https://freetsa.org/, it has many options and apis, but i didnt manage to find some info about rate limiting 😔 also found some fresh TSA list https://gist.github.com/Manouchehri/fd754e402d98430243455713efada710?permalink_comment_id=3810141#gistcomment-3810141, maybe you can find something suitable there 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Another thing is that Defender and other AVs will often "learn" over a week or two that a new release/update for Paint.NET is fine/legit, and will stop doing the in-depth security scans on it. I've also seen them "forget" for older builds -- like if you try to run 4.2.16 today, it'll likely do a in-depth scan on it. Adding your plugins folders to your AV's exclusion list is a good idea. The files get scanned anyway when you download them. It's not a perfect solution, from a security standpoint, but it's a reasonable balance.

Solution Slamb Posted January 14, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) the problem is fixed 😊 instead of portable zip i downloaded install zip, extracted the exe and this version doesnt have problem with defender 😮 im testing it for one day already and no stuck at all currently i use the content only from paint.net.5.0.install.x64\x64 folder, but there was also some PaintDotNet_x64.msi inside 🤔 Edited January 14, 2023 by Slamb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
