Tweaker occasionally not starting

Occasionally, Tweaker refuses to launch, no error, no popups, nothing. I have the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update installed (version 1709) but this has happened prior to this update. Checked the event logs and found the following:

Gonna need your logfile.txt, would probably be better if you joined our discord.

UPDATE:
Fixed it. Added Tweaker's folder to Windows Defender's exclusion list and it appears to be working as normal now.

Unfortunately I'm not on Discord. This is all it says (I cleared it prior to getting this error again):

Spoiler!

And I get the same Event Viewer error logs as in my original post.

I'm getting the same problem atm. Apparently my Windows Defender class the tweaker.exe as being a 'Trojan' whenever I try to update.

Spoiler!

'The following error occurred: Error code 0x80508023. The program could not find the malware and other potentially unwanted software on this computer.

Category: Trojan

Description: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.

Recommended action: Remove this software immediately.

Items:
file:C:\PSO2 Tweaker\renameme_PSO2 Tweaker.exe'

Trojan:Win32/Azden.B!cl

It's a false positive. From googling around, that trojan isn't even real, and Windows Defender has a habit of spitting out these nonsensically named "trojans" whenever the definitions are old.
