4. Select Administrator Tools.

   

5. Select Computer Management.

7. Right-click on the volume you want to exclude from the initial full system scan, and choose Change Drive Letter and Paths.

   

8. Click Remove, then select Yes when asked to confirm that you want to dismount the volume. The volume you selected will now be dismounted.

   

9. After Initial Full System Scan completed, you can mount the drive back, by clicking on Add, then select OK when asked to assign a drive letter.

   

Note: By doing this, the files inside the drives will also not be allowlisted. After full system scan is completed, if there is any executable inside these drives, the file may get blocked if it tries to run.
