    No, it scans file headers when you do read/write operations on disk. Every AV works this way, except, as I said, Defender is slow AF.

      I can’t find talk I watched, but I found github issue it was based on.

      Short version: Defender is triggered not on open, not on read or write, but on CloseHandle.
