Advice Request Configure WD Exploit Protection settings for Chrome?

[notabot]

WIndows Defender Offers ( app & browser control ) exploit protection for programs. Has anyone tried to harden these settings for Chrome while at the same time not damaging functionality?

Do you mean controlled folder access wich is disabled by default?

If so, i have it enabled, but i dont know does it prevent any changes malware/pup/pua will do to chrome as example

As example this is chrome folder, not sure is it this simple...sounds bit stupid

This isn't WD itself, but Windows Exploit Guard, located under WD Security Center

Correct the use of WD was liberal, didn’t refer to the AV module

Hey - not referring to controlled folder access, I’m referring to anti exploit settings for apps ( go to app & browser control -> program settings )

You might like to look at these threads:

When adding exploit protection you may need to set exclusions where exclusions are allowed. Exclusions are not possible for all features.

When adding browsers to CFA protection you will also need to exclude them to ensure needed access, I believe.

You may enable "audit" for some features of ASR to check what would be blocked.
