[0.17.1] Moving sound settings sliders massively increases CPU Load (Windows Defender?)

Simply and a bit oddly. Pulling any slider in sound settings massively decreases FPS and if you keep doing it for a second or two the game freezes for a bit. It always returned to normal after a few seconds however.

The strange part is that when I check Task Manager, its "Antimalware Service Executable" (Windows Defender) that increases to 50% CPU as soon as I touch the sliders. It's super paranoid about the sound thread or something?

logfile because you said it had to be included :P

I have the same problem, similar symptom. `MsMpEng.exe` CPU utilization shoots up while I'm dragging the volume sliders.

Thanks for the report. This is a duplicate and already fixed for the next version of 0.17.

Technically it was the other one that was a duplicate, but nice to hear =)
