**Note:** Even though Visual Studio is not used for building, it's still
**required** because we need the build toolchains it provides.
## Exclude source tree from Windows Security
Windows Security doesn't like one of the files in the Chromium source code
(see https://crbug.com/441184), so it will constantly delete it, causing `gclient sync` issues.
You can exclude the source tree from being monitored by Windows Security by
[following these instructions](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26).
