where is the quarantined defender files put?

i needed the drive free of some files , so was copying a folder I wanted, and Defender was objecting.
So I added an exception, but maybe it did not take cause the file is nowhere to be found.

It says e: which was the usb drive, so put in another usb drive, and selected to restore, but it is NOT restoring the missing file.
It is the name that made defender react as it is an audio driver install patch program, and now is it gone?

How To Recover Files Deleted By Windows Defender Antivirus?.

is it really that hard to restore??

I found the patch online. Only way to download was use Firefox, and I turned off Defender temporarily.
Then I uploaded it to a folder on my google drive

I have no idea what Defender did with the original file. But it certainly was not able to restore it, even though it had a menu option.
When I made an 'exception' it never showed an exception in the list, so I suppose it never did make an exception.

Redirecting

Nothing has changed. We still have erroneous status reports in the Full history page just like we did in the All detected items page in the classic Defender interface. If a threat doesn't appear in the Quarantined threats list on the Scan history page,
then it wasn't actually quarantined.

So we need to correct the documentation here:

On Windows Defender Antivirus for Windows 10 version 1703 and later:

• Use the Windows search box to find and open the Windows Defender Security Center
• Navigate to the Virus & threat protection > Scan history.
• Under Quarantined threats, select
  See full history

On earlier versions of Windows:

• Open Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows Defender.
• Click the History tab.
• Select Quarantined items and then View details. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.

Once you have reviewed the quarantined items you can:

• Select Remove all to delete all quarantined software.
• Select individual files, and then click Remove or
  Restore.
