    Actions -> Allow Does nothing for "blocked" app


    Windows decided this week was the week to delete a trustworthy app because there was PUP in the installer. Low risk, but hey let's screw up the user's life.In protection history, I have an entry. It says Status: Remove. Date was around the last time I ran windows update, Wednesday AM. There is a nice list of the affected items. When I go to Actions -> Allow, all that happens is the item listing in the windows security app becomes outlined in white. And then nothing else happens.Please tell me how to restore my program.Thank you.

    :)
