[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1053391, member: 52014"] It is not uncommon for Windows 10 exploit protection to show many *.exe files with "system override." This simply means that certain files have been granted additional privileges to bypass exploit protection mechanisms. This setting is typically enabled automatically for certain system files that require elevated privileges to function properly. It allows these files to override exploit protection rules to ensure system stability and compatibility. If you have not deliberately made any changes, it is likely that these overrides were applied during system updates or through other Windows processes. Restoring Windows Defender to default settings will not remove these system overrides. In general, having system overrides for certain files is normal and nothing to worry about. It helps maintain a balance between security and system functionality. [/QUOTE]
