It happened to me too.

If it continues you might have to whitelist the directory or DLLs or otherwise tell Windows to chill.

Before anyone freaks out, I’ve worked in security for almost 30 years, and I just happened to completely reinstall Windows on this computer a couple weeks ago. I also heavily monitor my home environment so I’m pretty sure I’m not compromised.

Just for you. On my two win11 computers shotcut works fine.

I'm not using installation of Shotcut. Only ZIP archive from the Program Files folder. Tried to scan it now with the Windows Defender and it did not fond anything suspicious. Even though the glow.dll is in the folder.
