Add-D365WindowsDefenderRules

SYNOPSIS

Add rules to Windows Defender to enhance performance during development.

SYNTAX

Add-D365WindowsDefenderRules [-Silent] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Add rules to the Windows Defender to exclude Visual Studio, D365 Batch process, D365 Sync process, XPP related processes and SQL Server processes from scans and monitoring. This will lead to performance gains because the Windows Defender stops to scan every file accessed by e.g. the MSBuild process, the cache and things around Visual Studio. Supports rules for VS 2015 and VS 2019.
