What is a Recommended Update?

We pursue customer driven design.  This means that we are constantly listening to user feedback to improve our product. Over time, these improvements culminate in a new version which embodies the best of what we have to offer.  This becomes a recommended update.

A Recommended Update refers to the minimum version that should currently be in use.

Are all updates not Recommended Updates?

No. Think of a Recommended Update as a milestone, a major achievement along the way.  In between those milestones can be many smaller, minor updates which are not relevant to all users.

Smaller updates may apply to specific users or issues resolved, but will not necessarily impact on all users.

How do I get this Recommended Update?

All Dynamic updates are available through the online distribution channel and can be obtained by running the Quick Update.  Please see elsewhere for the Quick Update and remember to Refresh after the update is complete.

Windows Defender Folder Exclude

Windows 10 Updates change the way Windows works. Not only does the entire Operating System change from time to time, but the various components upgrade in between. Windows Defender was recently updated. This updated (March 2020) has changed the way Defender behaves.

We have previously written on why it is necessary to set folder exclusions and how to do so. That post can be found here.

The current procedure is hidden, but follows the same basic pattern.

NOTE: That accessing the Defender menu through the Control Panel does not work. The option for exclusion is not available there.

  • Start by finding the Defender shield icon in the icon tray
  • Scroll down to Virus & threat protection settings
    • Click Manage Settings
      • Scroll down to Exclusions
      • Click Add or remove exclusions
        • Click the + button to Add an exclusion, and select Folder

Browse to locate the folder to be excluded. For a standard installation this should be the local c:\Dynamic folder
