So the same scanner with the same virus definitions reports the same
file as clean and later as unclean?
Maybe your clients machine is infected by something that windows
defender doesn't recognize and - on first run - infects the .exe file
with something windows defender does recognize? Or do you get these
complaints from different customers?

I don't know if this is still true, but a few years back, windows
defender was the worst malware protection on the market BY FAR. It lost
every test by huge margins (like 95-98% accuracy by competitors vs
60-80% by windows defender) so maybe they should change their malware
protection in the first place?
