    Clearing Windows Defender history

    Hey, what you need to do is so simple, just follow the steps below exactly in order:
    1. Turn OFF Real-time Protection
    2. Turn OFF Cloud-delivered Protection
    3. Go to this folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service
    4. Delete the contents in the folder
    5. Turn ON Real-time Protection
    6. Turn ON Cloud-delivered Protection
    That's it... Now check protection History, it's empty.
    Done!

    Unable to clear protection history

    I am using Windows 10 Home build 1909 and I am unable to clear the Windows Security Protection History...

    I have tried...

    Open Event viewer and find Log "Operational" under Application and service logs / Microsoft / Windows / Windows defender

    Right click on it and select clear log.

    and

    Delete folder Service C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service .

    After deleting the folder Service, off and turn on (OFF>ON) Real-Time protection and Cloud protection.

    And neither suggestion works. Are there any other suggestions to clear the protection history

    Microsoft needs to reinstall the clear button.

    I have entries because I had Controlled folder access turned on by accident... I have it off now.

    Can you clear the " Protection History list ? " of unwanted apps that are already removed

    Clear history in music + videos

    So if you have a history item you want off that list, the only option you currently have at this time is to play other items. As they appear in the list, the older history items will scroll off the list.

    I would ask that you consider offering your thoughts at the official suggestion box and hopefully someone on the team will push to have that implemented.



    I can tell you that they DO READ THEM and your input would be valuable.

    Feature suggestions can be made at
    windowsphone.uservoice.com    .

    You could also use the Suggestion Box app to post suggestions & feature requests for wp8 from your windows
