    Add or Remove Windows Defender Exclusions in Windows 10


    Is there a way to exclude a registry entry through the exclusions mechanism?

    I have disabled MsMpEng.exe from making outbound network requests via a firewall rule (don't worry, I disable the rule once in a while to allow Defender to update itself; I just don't want it consuming my bandwidth every single day!)

    However, in every scan, Defender complains about the firewall rule, flagging it as a trojan:

    Code: Trojan:Win32/BlockMsav.A!reg Alert level: Severe Status: Quarantined Recommended action: Remove threat now. Category: Trojan Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker. regkeyvalue: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules\\{---ID removed---}[/quote] I'd prefer to tell Defender not to mess with my firewall rule, which apparently boils down to a registry entry in the end; so if there's a mechanism to exclude a registry entry itself from the claws of Defender, that would be my saviour *Smile

    It may be out of scope, but any other alternatives for disabling MsMpEng.exe from arbitrarily accessing the network would also be highly appreciated *Smile

    Thanks @Brink for the suggestion! Unfortunately I'm using a USB-tethered internet connection (which is hence treated as a wired connection by windows); AFAIK Windows doesn't allow wired connections to be marked as metered (have tried it on my own as well, with no luck; the "set as metered" switch automatically turns off as soon as I leave the connection settings page).
