    Unable to Remove Exclusions from Windows Defender

    Thank you for posting back. If you trust a file, file type, folder, or a process that Windows Defender Antivirus has detected as malicious, you can stop Windows Defender Antivirus from alerting you or blocking the program by adding the file to
    the exclusion list. It seems that it was added automatically. We suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings and select Update & security.
    • Click Windows Defender.
    • Look for Exclusions and select Add an exclusion.
    • Navigate to the file, folder, or process, and select Exclude this file.

    If the steps provided did not work, we recommend that you boot your device to
    Safe Mode     and redo the process.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Windows Defender - The list of exclusions does not appear

    Registry permissions is definitely part of the problem, but not all. I saw weirdness even after carrying out the steps I mentioned above. Also, just yesterday, I launched the WD interface and my exclusions were not there. I added a new process exclusion and magically, all the other exclusions appeared as soon as I did that.

    Edit: All these weeks and many updates later, and the strangeness still occurs for me. I just clicked "Add or remove exclusions" and the list was empty. I backed out and clicked it again, and my two exclusions magically appeared. This is not just about registry permissions.

    Exclusion keep get added

    Exclusions

    An exclusion is a way to keep (deny) certain files and/or folders from being scanned by your anti-virus or anti-malware scanner. This is typically accomplished by changing settings...adding a file or folder to the software's exclusion
    list so the scanning engine will ignore it. Reasons for excluding a file are to prevent potential conflicts with your anti-virus, eliminate

    false positive     detection's of a legitimate file and to speed up the scanning process.
