    Windows Defender showing a list of greyed out Exclusions, but they don't show in the list...


    Hi guys,


    I'm having this frustrating issue and cant seem to see any thread where it is being addressed. Apart from the "Default" item, the only other Path I can find is for the exclusion I created by myself See image below.

    All other items shown in the list of exclusions in Windows Defender do not show in the Registry Editor. See Windows Defender Screenshot below

    What could be the problem?


    Kindly bear in mind that I wan to avoid, as much as possible, the need to have to re-install Windows, or Reset my Computer.


    Any help will be greatly appreciated.


    Emmanuel.

    :)

    Windows Defender Exclusion list

    I've tried a full scan. At the end of the scan a notification has came and said that " Scan has been completed, 0 treats found, Windows defender skipped those(showing list) files as your exclusion settings .." Quick scan also says the same.. I'll try for
    a clean boot later.

    Windows Defender - The list of exclusions does not appear

    Is it 20H2, or this pre-release version 4.18.2010.4 of Defender's Platform?

    I'm on 20H2 with the general release Windows Defender Platform 4.18.2009.7-0 and my add folder exclusion appears.
