As I said before it's impractical and even conflicts with the windows defender system tray being active so it makes no sense for me to disable all of these things. Is there no way to get some actual tech support help that can solve the problem without being an enormous inconvenience? I own almost all of the expansion and game packs, it would cost me probably close to a thousand dollars to switch to Steam.
