Turn Off Scan Encrypted Files?

tterb

Hi everyone,

Every time I do a scan of my Windows partition, I get a pop-up about scanning encrypted files. This is getting a bit annoying.

Is there any way to turn off such scanning in the settings?

I am using Total Security.

Cheers :)

Hello @tterb,

You could try to exclude the encrypted files from scanning by using the 'Manage exceptions' feature:

Let us know if this works for you.

Hi. The problem is, that I have no idea what files are encrypted. I get a notification when I scan my Windows 11 partition. But it doesn't name the files.

Hello.

I guess by "encrypted files" you mean "password-protected files".
