[SOLVED] Windows 10 March Updated - Defender folder exclusion

[Skysnake]

Hi guys

AutoIt content - Microsoft thinks any AutoIt content is unwanted.

What it does is simply delete any EXEs. No option of do you want to continue...

The March 2020 updated has substantially changed the Defender Virus Protection logic and layout.

I found three pages relevant to the help, and lots of outdated content. Is there a quick and easy way to set folder exclusions? Any help is appreciated and simply using google is not good enough, as this is a new problem, caused by the update.

Any ideas please?

ANSWER

Found it.

Accessing the menu through the Control Panel does not work

Click the Defender shield in the icon tray.

• Scroll down to Virus & threat protection settings
• click Manage Settings
• Scroll down to Exclusions
• click Add or remove exclusions

then click the + for Add an exclusion, and select File / Folder / File type / Process 

Select Folder and browse to select. 😥

Hide your EXEs with Au3toCmd. See my signature.
