    How to remove Threat Found - action Needed


    I have 3 of these threats and have run scans etc and clicked remove and quarantine etc but still this shows up. I have been told maybe I clear search history but I do not know how to do this or get permissions. I have been told this: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\ServiceTo delete this history. However I have zero permissions to do so,

    :)

    Current Threats found but cannot Start Actions!

    "Current Threats found but cannot Start Actions!" Windows Security recognizes a threat after running a full scan and suggests to "Start Actions". However, when I select the button, no options appear to handle the threat! Is this a dead-end situation? Is there nothing else to do?

    I suspect it may be a crypto mining app (PUA). The computer has been locking up at random times, so for me, this is no minor issue, but I cannot find a solution how to remove the malicious unwanted app from running or executing itself in the background.

    What further steps or actions can I take to remove this unwanted app?

    Windows Defender isn't removing some of the threats

    Defender notified me about 2 PUA's and I took the suggested action of removing them, but after I click on remove, it doesn't go. It shows that the threats are active. I uninstalled and removed the folder and the files/software which were affected but the
    threats are still there. The threats which I am getting are PUA:Win32/Presenoker and App:Cheat_Engine_BundleInstaller. I need some suggestions on how can I remove those completely.

    Windows Security - How to set default threat action to Remove

    When a notification of a threat appears, I launch the Windows Security application. If I click the down-arrow on each of the threats shown, the default action is to Quarantine. So, I have to click Remote on each one before clicking Start Actions. Is there a way to set the default action to Remove, so I can just click the Start Actions button to remove the threats from my computer?
