    How to remove exclusions from Windows Defender


    Windows 11Good morning/afternoon.Following a trojan attack, I ran a quick scan. No threats but when I check excluded files, here is what I can see :I tried to remove them from the list but I cannot. I do not know if I should remove them manually and ADWCleaner does not detect them. Does anyone have an answer ? Thank you !

    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.

  3. Windows Defender Antivirus Scan exclusions

    If there is anything in Windows Defender Exclusion list, then it won't be scan and if it is malicious program, it won't detect.

    It is better to remove all programs from exclusion list (if you didn't add them) and run a full system scan with Windows Defender.

    Unable to Remove Exclusions from Windows Defender

    Hi,

    This could be a possible system conflict. We need to ask you a few questions for us to isolate the problem. Please answer the following information:

    • Are you also having an issue with enabling the Cloud Based Protection and some files added to Windows Defender exclusion?
    • What troubleshooting steps you've tried so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you try performing a
    clean boot
    . It will allow your device to start by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. The article provided will help us identify what causing the conflict.

    We're looking forward to your response.
