Windows Defender blocking nVidia Drivers from fully loading?

[Mark W Scheidell]

After installing the new 96.85 drivers I noticed a number of User-PnP and
related Windows Defender events in the System Event Viewer.

So, is WD preventing the drivers from loading fully?

As an Example:

Windows Defender Real-Time Protection agent has detected changes. Microsoft
recommends you analyze the software that made these changes for potential
risks. You can use information about how these programs operate to choose
whether to allow them to run or remove them from your computer. Allow
changes only if you trust the program or the software publisher. Windows
Defender can't undo changes that you allow.

Nvidia tells you to disable anti-spyware and anti-virus when loading there
drivers. It's in the install notes.
