The current solution is to use the old version and disable any upgrades. Alternatively, you can ignore the warnings from Windows Defender and continue using the system, but I do not recommend this approach. It’s best to wait patiently for the author to fix this issue.

Well... you can't ignore it. The DLL that triggers Windows Defender keeps changing name every time Windows Defender blocks it. It's kinda chicken & egg situation that prevents us from adding it into exclusions. You don't know the name of the DLL until you run OpenCode, and once you run it, Windows Defender blocks the file and removes it. And you can go in circles indefinitely.

What is the latest version that does not have this problem?
