I'm having the same issue.  I believe it's Windows Defender, but have already added the entire build folder into the exclusion list.  I had it working for a brief time last night and it suddenly went back to the start screen.  Since then the Daemon won't start. 

Any ideas?

PS.  This looks like a really rad project and I hope the dev team grows.  Maybe they can use some of the dev team funding to work on getting a vendor to accept it.
