    Windows Defender Keeps Deleting File, Even Excluded

    So I have a .exe file to play a game. It is a small game and so the file isn't registered or anything like that.

    Windows Defender declared it a virus and deleted it, so I added it to the Exclusions list, but for some reason it keeps deleting it anyways. The only effective way to keep it is to turn off Windows Defender, but even then Defender will turn back on at some
    random point and delete it again. I have had to just keep redownloading this file to keep playing. I can't seem to find a way to stop it from doing this. Also, I am sure it is not a virus, nor has one hidden in it.

    This is super annoying, if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.

    Does Windows keep a list of Deleted Files?

    I would like to know if Windows keeps a list of recently deleted files. Idon't mean files that "are" still in the recycle bin but have already been permanently deleted.

    Is there a list somewhere of these files? The objective would be to re-download but I need the file names.
