Problem with the game being a false positive for Defender

Hey all!

So i have been made aware that launching the game sometimes causes Defender to pop up and warn you that It's been stopping an unrecognized program from running on you computer. 
After some digging and reading into the problem this is caused by the executable (.exe) not being signed. What that means is that Windows does not know where this .exe comes from and who it belongs to, so Defender will stop it from running.
Now getting a certificate to sign the executable is certainly an option, however doing so will cost a bit of money and to be honest i'd rather not spend a big amount of money on a game purely made for practice. For later titles i am planning on selling this will be inevitable though.
All in all the choice is yours whether you want to trust me that there is no malicious code being run in the game, all i can say is that i don't even know how to do that in the first place.

Have a nice day!
