Perhaps it's one better suited for periodic scanning? At least from a performance point of view. Perhaps one ought to have live scanning enabled when updating

Perhaps it's one better suited for periodic scanning? At least from a performance point of view.
Perhaps one ought to have live scanning enabled when updating packages, then disabled when not.
I look forward to seeing other replies.
- tomnipotent 5y agoThe challenge is that excluded folders/extensions apply to both real-time scanning and manual/periodic scanning. What we really need is the ability to disable real-time scanning on one set of folders/extensions, while still including them with scheduled system-wide scans.
- sundvor 5y agoThanks, that's a great point. It made me think we could probably do this programmatically - perhaps as part of a script to carry out the full scan? Add the folders of interest, scan, then remove when completed. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/defender/add-mppreference?view=windowsserver2022-ps https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/defender/... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/defender/remove-mppreference?view=windowsserver2022-ps https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/defender/... Or, even just run said folders as a custom scan! `Start-MpScan -ScanType CustomScan -ScanPath PATH\TO\FOLDER-FILES`
