Process exclusions (Windows)

You can exclude any process running from an application. When the process accesses a file, the exclusion also applies to that file.

Note

This doesn't exclude applications used by the process.

Enter the full application path, not just the process name shown in Task Manager.

Example

%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Office\Office 14\Outlook.exe

To see all processes or other items that you need to exclude for an application, see the application vendor's documentation.

You can use wildcards and variables.

For help on using exclusions, see Using exclusions safely.
