mpsigstub.exe

Today for the first time I got an alert from VS about the file mpsigstub.exe. After looking it up on the net it appears to be part of Windows Defender. Right after that I got a popup saying updates were ready for my computer and to restart. I whitelisted it for now.

It is involved w/WD updates.

They do this with all their Defender updates. Makes absolutely no sense.

Yes but what I thought was weird is WD checks every day for updates and I never got this warning before.
