    I'm trying to update and windows wont allow the download because it thinks there is a virus in the file.
    Anybody have this issue?

    Antivirus - false positive warning:
    Game Manager has the ability to scan a game's memory space so we can get the telemetry from games that don't supply any.
    Therefore you may get a false positive with some anti-viruses.
    To fix this problem, just add it to the exceptions list for your antivirus.
