Re: Process exclusions not working for MSSense.exe
Setting with just the exe file name, e.g. mt.exe. Part of the problem is this is all managed centrally by our IT and for a global/shared profile, it would be problematic to specify full paths. But they did put me in "troubleshooting mode" where I could add exceptions locally for a while, and adding the full paths made no difference. It appears that Advanced Threat Protection does not use these exclusions, it is managed separately.3.4KViews0likes0CommentsProcess exclusions not working for MSSense.exe
I have an issue where builds often fail due to sharing violations caused by defender. The sequence is: link.exe (MS VC++) creates the exe file being built MsSense.exe opens the exe file just built for scanning mt.exe (MS VC++ manifest tool) is executed to embed a manifest in the exe being built mt.exe fails to open the exe file due to a sharing violation. I've confirmed with procmon that MsSense.exe is opening this exe file in between our link and manifest steps and causes the sharing violation. I've tried adding process exclusions for link.exe and mt.exe with no change to the result. Also tried adding folder exclusions for the directory containing the source tree, also no help. It appears that MsSense.exe is part of Advanced Threat Protection and that Defender exclusions do not apply to that. I've searched high and low for how to fix this problem with no luck. Looking for ideas/pointers on how to add exceptions to ATP .4.2KViews2likes6Comments
