I only use windows 10 antivirus software but it stopping oculus downloading games and it even says on there website to turn it off while downloading games if having problems. How safe is it to turn off and what do you turn off?. Thanks.

It only doing it with certain games. At the moment I'm trying to download Elite D and antivirus software is stopping it but I have downloaded other since.

It must be just oculus software as for dozen time shutting it down and re-starting its downloaded but oculus software was actually recommending it with a pop up. It also says here https://support.oculus.com/225459294538101/

I never turned it off in the end as said I just tried and tried and in the end it did it.
