Answer 1

This problem can be caused by an antivirus application like avast that executes unknown applications for a short time in a sandbox to determine if the program appears to be a virus. Disabling this feature altogether or excluding your visual studio project folders are good way around this issue.

Answer 2

If you're running Avast, go to :

• Settings -> Active Protection -> File System Shield [settings icon] -> Exclusions.
• Press [Add]
• and enter the following: " * /folder/* " where folder is the name of your project folder (no spaces).

Should run fine now.
