[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 851588, member: 82776"] [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] A friend of me who has studied IT-security, advised me to add this registry tweak in stead of adding Windows and Program Files to the exclusions of Windows_Defender. I am using an old laptop and he told me this was a 'safer' tweak than adding UAC protected folders to the Windows Defender exclusions. I know it is choosing between two non-ideal options, but what is your opinion about it? Performance tweak: Set real time scan direction to check only when writing files (on access scan incoming, disables on access open check). I have removed UAC protected folders from exclusions and added this tweak (Set-MpPreference and Regedit) [/QUOTE]
