1. Select Start , then open Settings . Under Privacy & security , select Virus & threat protection.

2. Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions.

3. Select Add an exclusion, and then select from files, folders, file types, or process. A folder exclusion will apply to all subfolders within the folder as well.

Add any/all folders that contain engines...these folders won't be scanned or processed.
I was not aware of that possibility. Thank you.

Hello,

I don't have yet a new release, but I made some modifications on GitHub. The repositery is still Zangdar, but because it was extremely bad done, I started a new one. The ancient one, with the releases, is named Zangdar_0.
I will try to have a better use of git now.

Sorry for the inconvenience. If any problem, don't hesitate to tell.

Zangdar 2.27.08

Since the last version, I added a Tuner, and made numerous tests to improve the evaluation. Some worked, but most of all failed. I begin to think that the real improvement now will the Neural thing. Im totally ignorant of that, that's the next big challenge ! Before that, I would like to continue to improve the search; there are some heuristics that I didn't integrate.
I also improved the search, but not that much.

From some matches I did, I estimate Zangdar new elo about 3050.

REBEL-16.3 is the follow up of REBEL-EAS  and is estimated 35-40 elo stronger purely based on a stronger neural network. No search changes.
