How can I disable Visual Studio code analysis for GlobalSuppressions.cs?

I want Visual Studio to skip analyzing a specific file (GlobalSuppressions.cs) without adding suppress statements throughout my code. I've looked through the options but couldn’t find a setting to exclude this file.
I’d like to keep GlobalSuppressions.cs in my project while avoiding analysis on it. Here’s an image showing the syntax issues that I’d like to ignore:

You can prevent analyzers from processing GlobalSuppressions.cs by having Visual Studio treat it as a generated file. One common way is to add an auto-generated comment at the top of the file. For example:
CSHARP// <auto-generated> // This file was generated by a tool. // Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if the code is regenerated. // </auto-generated>
Visual Studio’s analyzers (and many third‑party ones) detect the presence of such a comment and typically skip analyzing that file.
Another option is to leverage an EditorConfig file. You can add an entry to mark the file as generated so the analyzers ignore it. For example, in your .editorconfig:
EDITORCONFIG[GlobalSuppressions.cs] generated_code = true
Both approaches let you keep GlobalSuppressions.cs in your project without its contents being analyzed, so you don’t have to place additional suppressions in your code.

You can add the following to your root level .editorconfig file:
INI[yourfile.cs] # Disable analyzers for a specific file dotnet_diagnostic.CAxxxx.severity = none
CAxxxx should be replaced with a specific code analyzer rule you want to disable. In your case set it to none for disabling all analyzers on the file.
Hope this helps!

You can use preprocessor directives:
CSHARP#pragma warning disable IDE0076 CSharpCodeProducingTheWarnings(); #pragma warning restore IDE0076
You can specify a comma delimited list of warnings if you want to suppress more than one warning.
You can also omit the #pragma warning restore to make the suppression active until the end of the file.
