To ensure smooth operation of the Automox Agent on Windows devices, we recommend allowlisting the Automox installation folder in Microsoft Defender. This helps avoid false positives that may block patching, policies, or other agent functions.
Recommended Exclusion
Add the following path to your Microsoft Defender exclusions:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Automox\This allows the Automox Agent to perform tasks like software patching and script execution without interruption.
Why Allowlisting Helps
Microsoft Defender may occasionally flag legitimate Automox scripts. Allowlisting prevents this from interfering with agent functionality.
