ExifTool >10.20 not running on Win10 x64

[GWild]

As noted in the bug forum, I just installed exiftool, and found it to hang. Knowing this issue after reading the install notes, it occured to me Defender sometimes blocks web apps until you make a positive response it is okay to run. So I tried a simple MS Defender scan of the exe, and boom: it now works as expected. No exceptions required.

YMMV.
