    Random files are getting automatically added in exclusion list of window defender.


    Recently some random files started getting added in the exclusion list of my defender. The remove option of these files are disabled, so I can't even remove them. I think that these are viruses.

    Kindly help me.

    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.

    Windows Defender - The list of exclusions does not appear

    Hello!,

    When I add an exclusion in WD, the list of the added exclusions does not appear.
