Windows 10: Your administrator requires a security scan for this item. The scan could take up to 10...

Every time I run my program in dev c++ or in Clion I am getting this pop message from window security. What should I do ?

Hi. Sometimes windows 10 give me this notification

Security scan required

Your administrator requires a security scan of this item. The scan could take up to 10 seconds.

It's gives me this message periodically, and usually when start 3dsmax 2020 or drag'n'drop some plugins in plugins folder.

I have question, sorry for caps but - WHAT ITEM???

It's every time says me - THIS ITEM - and every time i press on this notification, and it just redirect me to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...ock-at-first-sight-windows-defender-antivirus

this page have horrid Russian translation, but in English i still can't get anything useful from it. Just description of settings I've never touched.

so...

First - what item? It didn't say.

Second - i don't have any malicious files in 3dsmax directory (may be it's some crazy coincidence that i see this message usually wen operate with 3dsmax), no files in exclusion from 3dsmax directory.

Third - my defender have default settings, i didn't modify anything, except few exclusions for false positive files (nether of them have something to do with 3dsmax), and i only user on this PC, i guess this administrator of mine is just default settings
of defender.

It really began annoy me, just because it always ask me for something, but never give me any details expect of just link to settings description, settings I've never touched.

I also scanned all 3dsmax folder few times, it didn't find anything, but still continue to ask, i mean REQUIRE, to scan so mythic ITEM, that never defined.

Defender itself, have green check mark, and says that - everything a o.k.

I also tried to google it - didn't find anything useful about it.

PS. Checked security log in event viewer, there only audit success entries, probably have nothing to do with defender at all...

PPS. As u see, I'm little frustrated, so to be clear, what help i want (at least for now) it's answer to question - how can i understand what item windows mean?

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. Are you aware of any changes made to this computer prior to the issue?
   
2. What is the version of your Windows 10 computer? (To check the version of your Windows 10, you can refer
   See which version of Windows 10 you have).
   
3. Is the computer connected to any Domain Network?
   
4. Do you see a message like Some settings are managed by your organization when using Windows Defender?
   
5. From where are you dragging and dropping the plugins?
   

It might be difficult for us to tell you which item was blocked by Windows Defender and requires a scan, so I suggest you to look for the
Threat/Protection history by launching Windows Defender > Click on
Virus and thread protection > Click on Threat/Protection history. Here, you can find the history which was allowed or blocked by Windows Defender.

Meanwhile, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if you are getting the same message from Windows Defender.

Method 1:
Running Security Scan With Microsoft Safety Scanner.

I suggest you to perform a Full Scan using
Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if you find
anything.

If you don't get anything using Microsoft Safety Scanner, then follow
Method 2.

Method 2:
Performing A Clean Boot.

I suggest you to put your computer in a
Clean Boot State and check what exact is causing this issue.

A Clean Boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality
while in a clean boot environment, however, that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after you have finished your troubleshooting.

To determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot from the above Clean Boot article.

If the Clean Boot works, then don't forget to place the computer to normal boot by going to
Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting section in the Clean Boot link.

If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.
