I have been doing some coding puzzles in C. Since I have an expensive desktop, it feels a little silly pulling out my MacBook Air every time I want to code. If only it were as easy to code on Windows as it is in my Mac.
I enjoy writing code in a text editor then compiling and running it in the command prompt. It's extremely simple, and I feel as if I have total control over my code. Except Windows does everything in its power to make this not simple. I can compile the code, but then I cannot run it. "Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software." This is what Windows says when I just double-click my executable file. Trying to run it directly from the command prompt yields, "The system cannot execute the specified program."
Awesome.
To be sure, I have already completely turned off the "Check apps and files" setting in Windows Security. Sometimes this seems to be enough, but then Windows will randomly decide to not let me use the code I write anymore. Often I will be happily coding along, compiling fine, and then out of nowhere Windows will decide it doesn't want to open my programs anymore. Absolutely infuriating.
Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening? And, more importantly, how can I make it permanently stop?
