Windows Defender

[ShayanFiroozi]

I need to add my app executable file or its entire folder to the Windows Defender Exception list.

Thank you

Hello,

I'm afraid we do not have predefined support for this.

However, you can easily achieve this through a custom action. For example, you can use a PowerShell script with the Add-MpPreference cmdlet.

Code: Select all

Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath 'C:\Temp'

This command adds the folder C:\Temp to the exclusion list. The command disables Windows Defender scheduled and real-time scanning for files in this folder.

For more details, please refer to the Add-MpPreference
article.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Liviu

Hey, Could you tell me if this will work after the installation to add the entire folder where its installed?


This doesn't rely seem to work :

Code: Select all

Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath '[APPDIR]'
