How to Exclude a File or Folder from Windows Defender Scan In Windows 10 [Tutorial]
Are you getting false positives with Windows Defender Antivirus? Here are the steps to exclude files, folders, and other items from getting scanned on Windows 10.
On Windows 10, the Windows Defender Antivirus is your default anti-malware engine to protect your device and data from viruses, roolkits, ransomware, and other security threats.
Although for the most part the built-in Windows 10 antivirus does a pretty good job, it may flag a file or folder that you trust as malicious. If you want to prevent this type of behavior from happening, Windows Defender Antivirus includes an option to exclude files and folders, as well as file types and processes from getting scanned and blocked.
In this Windows 10 guide, we walk you through the steps to exclude specific items and locations from Windows Defender Antivirus scans.
Windows Defender Firewall is the security guard of your Windows computer. Windows Firewall is a vital application developed by Microsoft and comes with every Windows PC by default. It is the default antivirus protection of your Windows computer. Windows Firewall facilitates filtering of data transmissions across the computer. When you scan your computer using Windows Defender or Windows Firewall, whatever you call it, it scans each and every file and folder. Sometimes, there are certain files or file types, that we know, are not corrupted and we want to skip them to speed up the scanning process. In that case, you can exclude those folder or file or file types to be scanned by Windows Defender. In this tutorial, we shall show you how to exclude a folder or file from Windows Defender scan on Windows 10.
Windows Defender can scan and monitor almost all the folders in Windows 10. In case you have a folder which may have files which could send an alarm to Windows Security, then it is best to Add an exclusion to Windows Security. It is fine to do that if you are sure that the contents of the folder are safe and Windows Defender is only throwing out false-positive warnings. That way, it will not scan those folders in the future. Again, there are some Windows files and folders you may exclude from Antivirus scans – and you may want to do that to save your scan time.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba,Lenovo, and Samsung).
