Installer should add folder exclusions from Defender scanning

Setting up a new Cakewalk installation on a friend's laptop, I noticed that the Melodyne installer automatically creates a Defender exclusion.

I think that it would be a good thing for Cakewalk to do that as well, for whatever folder the user chooses for Cakewalk Projects and Cakewalk Content. Perhaps also the user's AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk folder.

Realtime Defender scanning has been acknowledged by @Noel Borthwick as something that can cause unnecessary overhead, due to Cakewalk's streaming its audio from the disk during playback. I'm sure it doesn't help with recording, either, and I don't need every plug-in I load to go through the malware checker every time I load it.

Here is what my exclusions list looks like. Add these to your system and see if you get a relief from disk overhead. I think that at the least, Cakewalk Projects and Cakewalk Content folders would be good:
