Crashing on startup

[eccentra]

Ever since version 3, Paint.NET has almost always crashed on startup for me. It seems to be something to do with Windows Defender, since killing the Windows Defender processes sometimes lets Paint.NET start, but even that doesn't always work. Any ideas?

The log file looks like this:
