Can I add Windows Update to BitDefender's exception list?

jnv7a

Hello BitDefender community. I recently purchased BitDefender, I'm using it and it works wonders. It bothers me that every time there is a Windows Update being downloaded and/or installed BitDefender makes high CPU usage. In addition to being used by Windows Update, BitDefender also uses it. It's certainly working on Windows Update. I would like to add the list of exceptions, so I ask if there would be any harm in that, it is a safe source, from Microsoft, how could viruses come from such software?
