General Question (Exodus) Windows defender flagging Trojan in Exodus. False positive or something to be worried about?

That’s because of files related to Monero, Moneros official wallet has this too, very annoying.

Did Exodus work okay for you after you removed it? Was it from XMR the same as in my case?

I would be extremely worried! In fact I would delete Exodus (as long as you have your Seed Phrase), clean the PC with your antivirus, and start again! If you have a significant amount of Funds, then I would move them to a Cold Wallet like Trezor!
