I was kind of in doubt if I should necro this old post.
But, it takes on an interesting issue, what is a "false positive", what is dangerous malware, and can you trust your anti-badstuff software??
Sufficient to say:
as of v.11.5 64-bit, I run this on all my private PC's and in my lab with around 15 machines.
Windows Defender does not trigger, but if Defender has a problem that would be true for all machines.
@Everyone else:
I also run QAP on my work PCs. This is boxes administrated by my Azure and Security team.
I do NOT have admin access to my own work-PC.
And, we run a suite of security programs, including Exploit Guard.
None of them triggers on QAP.
Fortinet in this space (local risk/malware detection) is kind of a hotdog vendor, but they are very, very good in edge infrastructure and other areas.

Addendum:
If you as a user runs Windows 10 or 11 you probably don't need anything else than Defender included in the operating system.
Third-party products does always deliver something "more" because Defender is pretty effing good on the basic stuff.
Defender does not trigger on QAP, and that is fine.
For those who disagree, I highly recommend looking into Defender ATP, Azure ATP, Office ATP, Sentinel (all Microsoft), or Crowdstrike or Carbon Black....and some other vendors.
