  2. Potentially Unwanted App Found (Not)

    Yesterday, I got a notification for a Potentially Unwanted App Found. I briefly went through the steps to find the app, but I got nowhere.

    Today, I received another notification so I took the time to research the entire paradigm for discovering the app. I opened Windows Security from the notification. I next went to App and Browser Control. However, there is no [Review] box under Reputation-based Protection. (All the settings in this section are set to Default).

    There must be something that is activating the notification, but nothing is showing up either on Microsoft or Malware Fighter. Any assistance would be appreciated as this is already becoming annoying. I am running Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1826).

    Potentially unwanted apps will now be blocked by default in Windows  

    Would that it were that simple. Here's what I see in App & browser control

    And when I click Review

    As you can see, it doesn't show the name of the app it wants to block.
