    How do I fix “Remediation Incomplete” after stopping the threat removal process?


    I ran a full system scan that took about 3 hours and detected multiple threats might be over 100 which were severe programs which are dangerous and executes commands from an attacker, etc . I clicked the “Take Action” button and disconnected from the internet, then waited for around an hour. However, it didn’t remove or quarantine any of the threats during that time. I eventually had to cancel the process because I needed to go out. Now it’s the next day, and it shows “Remediation Incomplete.” What should I do to fix this? What steps do I need to follow?I want to avoid connecting to the in

    Windows Security Protection History-remediation incomplete

    Windows 10 security found two trojans that are now listed in my protection history as severe-remediation incomplete. And yet my virus and threat protection shield icon has a green checkmark. What if anything should I do? Why does it say remediation incomplete?

    A manual scan by Malwarebytes identifies zero threats.

    Remediation Incomplete Message

    Remediation Incomplete Message

    I had a Trojan threat that indicated a virus was in Temporary files. I ran CCleaner to clear temporary files. I then checked Windows Security and it said my Virus and Threat Protection was ok. See screenshot.

    Later, I rechecked Protection History and found the Remediation Incomplete message. See screenshot. I read that sometimes this message can appear after clearing a virus threat.

    I ran CCleaner again and also Malwarebytes. I also did a Full scan on Windows Defender. In all scans they did not show I had any virus issues.

    So, how should I treat the Remediation Incomplete message?

    Thanks,
    Jerry

    Windows 10
