Chrome and Firefox browsers close, Edge unaffected

[Guest Kate Ehit]

Directly following Microsoft Defender Antivirus cloud protection's gathering of additional security intelligence, both Firefox and Chrome browsers close.This happens multiple times a day, and is a recurring issue that has been going on for months.Edge is unaffected, and "just use Edge" is not a viable option.No virus or malware are present, a complete wipe of Chrome and reinstall was done with absolutely no extensions, but the problem persists.I've gone over event logs and am coming up with nothing.
