Very similar experience here, coupled with windows defender randomly switching itself back on and quaranteening half my (completely benign) development folder.
The last time it did that I spent an entire afternoon trying to get it disabled and get my files back onto the machine with only limited success.
I think it may be a windows home vs windows professional thing.
But rather than wrestle with it further I just gave up. Only thing I had left that really needed windows was word and excel which ironically actually now work better and crash less on the mac mini than they ever did on windows.
