Hi, @andrepodnozov , we updated our simulator to 0.14.1, now the windows defender false alarm issue has been solved. We are now contacting Windows Defender team for more information about this. You can just reopen vscode or visual studio, then it would download the latest version

I confirm that the updated version doesn't cause the false alarm anymore. Thanks!
