How do you add a process exclusion for welcome.scr in Windows Defender?

• A. Exclusions > Add an exclusion; then select Process. In the Enter process name field, type welcome.scr; then select Add.
• B. Quarantine > Add exception
• C. Virus & threat protection settings > Manage exclusions > Add process
• D. Threat protection updates > Add new exclusion

Answer: (A)

Excluding a specific process from Windows Defender means telling Defender not to scan or block that process while it runs. To do this, go to Windows Security, Virus & threat protection, Exclusions, then Add an exclusion, choose Process, enter the process name (for example, welcome.scr), and click Add. This path directly targets a running process and uses the correct UI to specify what to exclude. Quarantine and Add exception aren’t the right paths for creating a per-process exclusion, and the option about threat protection updates isn’t related to exclusions. Remember to only exclude a trusted process to avoid reducing protection.
