AoE2 DE is not launching? You get this error “A running process may be interfering with the correct operation of AoE2 DE. This may be caused by anti-virus software, malware, game overlays, or other active processes on your PC.”

This issue is caused by either an Antivirus or Windows Defender. To solve the issue follow the instructions that suits you (see “Antivirus Solution” if you have an antivirus, if you don’t check “Windows Defender Solution”):

You antivirus not covered? Google the following: “Antivirus name + add to exception list” without the double quotes.

Windows Defender Solution

In case you only use Windows Defender, it is fairly easy to solve the interference issue.

Click Windows Start button and search for: Tamper Protection

Find Tamper Protection

A window similar to this will appear and now you just disable Tamper Protection
