Windows 10: Do not trust Windows Defender...

Hi all,
I performed the Windows Defender Block at First Sight feature and I have the Windows Defender default settings as shown under my image as Cloud Protection being Enabled.

However, there is this test file and seems that Defender did not block this type of test. Please see print screens.
I even validated my connection to the cloud service using the command MpCmdRun -ValidateMapsConnection and came up Connection Validated.

ValidateMapsConnection successfully established a connection to MAPS

Even though, the test file failed and Defender let it through, I went to the Defender Security app and it said Threats Found and I had to choose the selected remediation choices.

Test file link is there within this documentation:

This is really bad. I don't trust Defender now.

:)

Unable to Remove Exclusions from Windows Defender

Thank you for posting back. If you trust a file, file type, folder, or a process that Windows Defender Antivirus has detected as malicious, you can stop Windows Defender Antivirus from alerting you or blocking the program by adding the file to
the exclusion list. It seems that it was added automatically. We suggest that you follow these steps:

• Go to Settings and select Update & security.
• Click Windows Defender.
• Look for Exclusions and select Add an exclusion.
• Navigate to the file, folder, or process, and select Exclude this file.

If the steps provided did not work, we recommend that you boot your device to
Safe Mode and redo the process.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
