Windows 10: How do I access my Virus & Threat protection settings?

I want to access my Virus & Threat protection settings, but I can't, it says that my IT administrator has limited my access to some areas and that the item I'm looking for is not available. Apparently, I need to contact them but who do I contact and is there any possible way I can fix this on my own?

Accessing Exclusion in Virus and Threat Protection,

Hello there!

Is there any other way to access the exclusion for virus and threat protection? I've tried to follow steps shown online but I cannot find the settings.

Thank you!

 

Accessing "Virus & threat protection settings"

There are a few things you can try:



1. Try opening the Control Panel and then going to Security and then Virus & threat protection settings.



2. If that doesn't work, try opening the Start Menu and then typing "gpedit.msc" into the search bar. This should open up the Group Policy Editor, which should then allow you to access the Virus & threat protection settings.







3. If neither of those work, then you may not have the correct permissions to access the Virus & threat protection settings. In that case, you'll need to contact your administrator and ask for access.
