Windows 10: Many items in Program settings in Exploit protection

Hello,In Security>App & browser control>Exploit protection>Program settings there is a long list of exe files in there that I did not put there myself.A few examples are:excelcnv.exeExTExport.exegraph.exeie4uinit.exemshta.exemsoasb.exengen.exePlus many more.I can elaborate on the individual overrides on each one if you like. But should there be so many exe files listed in the system overrides like this? Is this normal?I have run virus scans using Trend Micro Housecall, Malwarebytes Premium and Microsoft Windows Defender, all of which found nothing.I await a reply.Thanks

:)

 

Exploit Protection's "Program Settings"

Let us say that I went into WINDOWS DEFENDER SECURITY CENTER > APP & BROWSER CONTROL > EXPLOIT PROTECTION SETTINGS > PROGRAM SETTINGS.

Then, let us say that I edited via "system override" the settings for one of the programs.

My question: How would I later restore the default settings (i. e., the ones that were set before editing) for one or more edited programs?

Exploit Protection does not seem to provide any option for restoring back to a program's default state before any change was made.

Thanks for any help!

 

Exploit Protection Settings

The Exploit Protection settings are preconfigured; and home users should generally just leave them alone:



The Use default configuration for each of the mitigation settings indicates our recommendation for a base level of protection for everyday usage for home users. Enterprise deployments should consider the protection required for
their individual needs and may need to modify configuration away from the defaults.

Apply mitigations to help prevent attacks through vulnerabilities



The preconfigured applications have been optimized by Microsoft – and adding customizations for other apps requires both a rationale and an understanding of the potential consequences, since haphazardly changing the default settings for an app can
easily render it dysfunctional.



It’s ironic that these application mitigations are exposed in the Windows Defender Security Center interface, while the safe and simple Windows Defender configuration options are only available via the PowerShell Set-MpPreference command line:

The Set-MpPreference cmdlet now also includes the parameters for Attack Surface Reduction and Block at First Sight:
