    Windows Defender scans network devices


    I have a share on my NAS attached as drive N:

    I have an exclusion defined in Windows defender for folder N:\

    I have deactivated scan of network devices by GPO



    Although of these settings, Windows Defender (On-Access) scans the device. Why?
