When doing a scan of my laptop using Windows Defender on latest version of Windows 10, I notice there are few files are excluded by Windows Defender. You can view the image here:
Are these files safe to keep on the laptop or we can delete it without any issues?
Looking for advice.

1Looks like malware that whitelisted itself. It's certainly not normal. – Mario – 2017-09-26T05:02:23.283
Is this a corporate laptop? – Daniel B – 2017-09-26T05:44:21.807
No, this is a personal laptop used for development. How do I get rid of these? Also, do you advice me deleting these files? – Nitesh – 2017-09-26T10:15:22.230

That's weird! Its a laptop running original Win10 licensed via MS. – Nitesh – 2017-09-27T13:51:46.953

the last 2 files are not part of original Windows 10. Run slmgr.vbs -dli to see which activation you use (OEM, retail or KMS)

buy a legal Windows 10 license, enter the product code and delete the 2 non MS files from system32 – magicandre1981 – 2017-10-02T13:28:55.247
