  Method 1.
  You can disable the anti-virus software and check if that causes this behavior.
  Temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if the problem persists.
  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
  
  Method 2.
