Good thinking. During the fetching of the registry the “anti-malware service executable” was over 30% of CPU usage.

I added the folder `.julia/registries` to the exclusion list. That didn’t work.  
I added `.julia` to the exclusion list, and then the fetching of the registries did not result in high anti-malware executable CPU usage. However when the fetching was done, the anti-malware executable went up to over 50% of CPU usage.
