How do I bypass IT Administration so I can add Exclusions

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.

Administrative password bypass

Hi James,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

To install any new apps/software to the system we need an administrator privilege. If you are in a Local account and wants to install any applications/software you need an administrator password. However, we can change the account type from Local account to
Admin account.

I suggest you to change the account type to administrator account by following the steps below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key + X.
• Select Control Panel.
• Click on User accounts.
• Under make changes to your account, click on Manage another account.
• Select the account which you want to change.
• Now click on change the account type.
• Select Administrator and click on Change the Account Type to
  change the account type to administrator account.
• Now check if you are able to perform the above tasks.

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you need any further assistance.

Thank You.

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
