    Can't Remove Microsoft Windows Defender Threat History


    I've read through a ton of posts on this and adjacent topics and none of the proposed solutions have helped yet, here's the full context:The kali linux iso is packaged with code that gets flagged by Windows Defender, this is a well known fact, I'm not worried about it as kali is intended to be that way. However, I've lost interest in using kali to buff up my cybersecurity skills, so I decided to take what I expected would be the easier route and just delete the kali iso. I had to delete it in safe mode because defender locked the file due to the false flags. But defender still reports over 300

    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!

    WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

    Hi lelouch.lamperouge,

    Sorry if that didn't work.

    Is the threat listed on your Quarantined Items? If yes, please try the following.

    1: Open Windows Defender Security Center from the system tray area.

    2: Click “Virus & threat protection”.

    3: Open Protection History.

    4: Click filters, select ‘Quarantined Items’

    5: Select the threat and click Remove.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.
