    W10 Windows Defender Protection History

    Hi, is it possible to clear the "all recent items" list in "virus & protection/protection history"
    it currently lists 14 items of "protected memory access blocked" and 1 item of "protected folder access blocked"
    all low severity.

    many thanks,

    Protection History Question

    Question on Protection History. See screenshot.
    On Protection History, how do I delete only the 2 items for Severe listings? In the past, I seem to remember deleting entries like this in the Protection History page with 1 or 2 clicks. However, I don’t see that delete option now.
    Thanks,
    Jerry
