I am created my custom master page and uploaded using design manager. And applied this master page from Setting-> Master Page section of SharePoint.

Now my problem is, this master page is applied to all pages, including SharePoint default pages like settings.aspx, ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx etc.

I need to restrict this and I want to apply master page to the pages that I am creating.

Is it possible?

Yes, its very much possible.

While selecting the masterpage you have 2 options.

  • Site Master Page
  • System Master Page

Site Master Page will be applied to the pages you are creating.

While System Master Page will be applied to all default SharePoint Pages such as Site Setting, Site Contents etc.

So just configure your custom masterpage to Site Master Page. And let System Master Page to use default masterpage.

See image.

In your case you can refer this question SitePages uses System Master Page
