    Windows defender protection history is missing

    Hi, have you had any other help yet?

    I have another suggestion, check under filter to see what’s set, if there’s a show all then select that.

    See if anything is listed under here:

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service

    Defender will automatically remove entries after 30 days anyway so unless you’re checking regularly there may be 0 entries shown due to this.
