Windows Defender in Windows 10 scans (and blocks) MySQL files on exclusion list

Question
-
Hi!
Someone on answers.microsoft.com adviced to post here. I have a problem with Winoows Defender and MySQL
I have MySQL server on my computer since a long time, nowadays I upgraded to Windows 10 and now the Defender blocks the MySQL server. It became so slow, the PMA (on the same machine) timeouts. If I disable the Defender, it works good. I tried to add MyI, MyD and frm files extensions to the exclusion list, but it didn't work. I tried to add the MySQL data dir to the list, still bad. Finally I tried to add mysqld as executable to the list, but still I have to disable the Defender whenever I use my databases. (Additional information: these are huge databases, gigs)
Is there a way to exclude the database from the realtime scanning?
Thanks in advance

Did they give you any indication on where to post?
You could possibly try the Win10 forums:

I got that but this is "where is" forum for direction on where best to ask questions. The link I gave you is the only windows defender forum on microsoft.com. You can also try the windows 10 forums here.
