causes of mircoshutering, from drivers to visual mods and tools that hijack direct3d, try to have everything as clean as possible, also try a new driver if possible, reboot the system, etc, try to be methodical searching for the root cause, ask in the comments when you already have some testing information to share, I will make a video about microshutering soon.Antivirus programs can false detect this as a generic/troyan, Is a false positive,upload the original zip instaler to your antivirus companyrequesting to be marked as false positiveGive also the url to the original place where you download the programThey will analyze it and sometimes replyEven if they flag this as false positive in the next update,they will eventually forget and delete the software again without warning,be sure when you are convinced this is a legit software,to add it to the trusted/exclusion list,or set your Antivirus software to ask your permission to delete something.A page of reference to know I'm
