Virtual Display Manager (VDM) offers runtime application exclusion, allowing specific applications to bypass VDM control when needed. This can be achieved via the `Ctrl+Alt` key combination while maximizing a window, or through VDM’s configuration for persistent exclusion during the application’s runtime.

In certain scenarios, such as video games with advanced memory protection that permit only whitelisted applications during a session, driver-level exclusion becomes necessary. To address this, VDM provides a utility enabling driver-level exclusions.
