Description

It seems like that at least one of the built in security features in [Microsoft Defender for Endpoints ](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/exploit-protection-reference?view=o365-worldwide#mitigation-reference)interfere with debugging, and close down the debugged application as a security measure.

First after I disabled all of the Security features for Excel was it possible to do debugging without any issues.

I have tried to find any documentation or information on exactly which one of the security features it is that interfere with Excel-DNA debugging, but I have not found any info on this.

These are the security features that were disabled:

What are the recommended security setting to get debugging with Excel-DNA to work as intended?
Is there any documentation on this which I have missed?
