Windows Defender memory not released

It may be a Windows Defender problem, but this is the only app having the trouble afaik.

  1. Starting usr\bin\bash.exe increases memory usage of Windows Defender
  2. The memory will not be reduced after closing a gitbash process

This does not occur by adding an exclusion to Windows Security C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe as process.
