How to Add RetirementView to Windows Defender Whitelist

SIGNS OF WINDOWS DEFENDER BLOCKING THE APP:

• you cannot read/write files; File -> New gives an error
• errors like "There is no Plan table"
• on startup you get a message that "You must have internet access to run the program" and then it shuts down

HOW TO FIX:

Open Start Menu Search for “Windows Security” (the app by Microsoft) Go to Firewall & network protection 

Click “Allow an app through firewall” 

Click “Change settings” (you may need admin rights)

Look for your app in the list:

• If you find it → check both Private and Public
• If not → click “Allow another app…”
  • Browse to your app’s .exe  -> The RetirementView.exe is located at:

    •  C:\Program Files\RetirementView\RetirementView.exe

  • Add it, then check both boxes

Click OK

Now start up RetirementView again and see if the problem has gone away.
