I'd look in the eventlog to find out what the problem is.

The path would be: Event Viewer > Applications and Services logs > Microsoft > Windows > Windows Defender > Operational




ANSWER 2

Following on from LPChip's helpful answer, I wanted to open this folder at will from a shortcut.

It turns out Event Viewer does have a command line syntax:

eventvwr /l:[log file path]

or

eventvwr /c:[channel name]

Right-clicking and accessing the Properties of a node in Event Viewer offers the Full Name (pass to /c:) and Log path (pass to /l:), which can be passed to the command line to open Event viewer on this node so I end up with this command for my shortcut:

C:\Windows\System32\eventvwr.exe /c:"Microsoft-Windows-Windows Defender/Operational"

Are you sure it´s VS related? If not, and you´re using Office365, this could be the Office365 ATP. If this is the case, the information on this link will give you initial information on setting it up.
