MsMpEng.exe *is* Windows Defender: 
  MS (Microsoft) 
  Mp (Malware Protection) 
  Eng (Engine)
  
An exception does not kill a process, but exclude it from getting
scanned.  

Are you running some other/3rd-party anti-virus program?  If so, only
ONE should be running at a time (as the on-demand aka realtime scanner),
not multiple running at the same time.  If you want to use a 3rd-party
AV, disable Windows Defender.  Be sure to use a 3rd-party AV that
properly registers itself in Windows which will have Windows grant the
3rd-party AV as the antimalware protector.
  
The "instructions" came from where, specifically?  Just because you
found something on the Web doesn't mandate it is valid, or applies in
your situtation.
