Windows 10: Can't clear Windows Defender history

Hi, Windows defender found many viruses (false-positif that i'm sure) and I accepted them in Defender, but then i tried to clear history to be sure i'm note deleting theses 2 false-positif but it just won't clear.. Is that normal ? Am i the only one with this issue ?

Using Windows 10 Pro 64Bits on CU update (15063.296)

Sorry for the attachments my windows is in turkish but i'm trying to showing that it's still there

:)

 

Windows Defender will not scan

I get that same alarm code with a text msg that says Defender can't complete scan because some history "could not be displayed. Please wait a few minutes and try again. If that doesn't work, clear the history and try again."

Why the heck should I have to clear and thus lose my history here? Why can't Defender read it as is?

This is annoying.

To clear history you have to click Yes on the UAC prompt. You have apparently set UAC to 'Never notify' so don't get the UAC prompt. Without a UAC prompt Defender won't clear the history (I've tested it). Turn your UAC back on and you will be able to clear the history.

As you obviously have UAC turned off, are you really sure these are false positives? With no UAC you are at high risk of picking up some nasty things! For your own protection, turn UAC on and leave it on.

 

Actually i have UAC enabled so it's not that but after 2 reboot of the computer i finally managed to clear the history, i still don't know why it didn't clear the first time cause i didn't do anything between these reboot..

Thanks for the help anyway *Smile
