Hi all. I just ran a quick scan as I frequently do and discovered a bunch of exclusions that I did not add with the exception of the one for Malwarebytes. Did Windows do this itself? Can these be safely removed?
Lastly since I mentioned it, is the Malwarebytes exclusion necessary?
Some say if you exclude MB from Defender, and vice-versa, there is less cross-play and unnecessary monitoring. I've tried it, and did not notice much, if any, difference.
Far as the other exclusions, hard to comment with knowing what they are.
