Is there a way to whitelist a file, folder or entire (flash) drive in/from Defender?


Every time I open the folder to software *I* have written, Defender flags much of the contents as a "Potential threat" and quarantines them. Ditto for a flashdrive I store all my utilities on (both sources are virus free. These are False Positives.)


I can tell Windows to ignore each file AFTER the fact, but that's very annoying. TIA
