ThrottleStop triggers Defender on svchost process

[Toan]

Hi, I am observing a behaviour that I wasn't able to understand.
In the last month, while launching ThrottleStop everything seems fine, except that a Defender notification pops-up. I attach an example here (not mine, since not in English but is really similar, same temp files, same comments).



I updated ThrottleStop and the issue is still there, it seems that only ThrottleStop triggers these messages, no other program until now.

I found others having this problem but I haven't found a solution.
Thank you

only ThrottleStop triggers these messages

My laptop is running Windows 11 23H2 Home. I use Microsoft Defender and ThrottleStop. I never get any warnings like that. Are you the Administrator of your computer or are you using a work computer? Are you using Windows 11 Pro? Are you using an account with Administrator privileges?

Some computers are setup so the signed driver that ThrottleStop uses is blocked and cannot be installed into Windows. If ThrottleStop cannot create and use that driver then ThrottleStop will not be able to work.

There is nothing I can do about this. If you want an extra safe computer then you will not be able to run ThrottleStop. If you really need to run ThrottleStop then you will have to make an exception in Microsoft Defender so it does not complain.
