Unless you have custom exclusions set, I suggest simply to delete all the exclusions in list. The default will appear instead (when you open the list again) - and it will include ?:\PageFile.sys (I hope ;)).

Ok, I tried that and it didn't work as expected.

I do have two additional exclusions, the folder containing eicar test files and windows prefetch files (.pf).

However, I decided to delete everything as you suggested (I could always put them in again) and closed the window. When I opened it again, yes ?:\PageFile.sys was there but the others I mentioned previously (what I thought were the default set, see below) were gone.
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\*.TMP
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\_AVAST4_\UNP*
C:\WINDOWS\WINSXS\*.MANIFEST
C:\WINDOWS\WINSXS\*.CAT
C:\WINDOWS\WINSXS\*.POLICY

So it would appear that there is something in the mix not working as expected or should those file exclusions above not the default?

No, that's OK.
These exclusions (unp*, etc.) are still performed internally, but somehow differently - so they are not displayed in the list. Don't worry about them ;)
