    MsMpEng.exe deleted my files silently and secretly


    Hello,Recently after I made a fresh install of Windows 11, I noticed that some of my files have been deleted by `MsMpEng.exe` and I haven't received any notification or warning on this, and I cannot see any log on Windows Defender about such actions.I audited a folder and from the event log:It's not a file in Windows' system folder but in my own data folder. I am even NOT notified when a MS product deleted my personal file. Is it not super weird?

    :)

    Cant Delete Files From Desktop

    Well, ran into a weird bug with vista, for some reason i cant delete files from desktop, this normaly happens to .exe files, the ONLY fix seems to be to KILL explorer.exe, and delete the file, then restat explorer, anybody got any idea why this happens?

    .exe file deletion

    Hello I've been having troubles with .exe files I try to permantley delete the folder and it'll remove everything except the .exe file if I delete the .exe file with a shift+del it'll dissapear then repair once I refresh the folder it's in. If I use the
    normal delete method to move it into my receclying bin it'll pop up a message for admin privellages I'll click continue and then it tell me I need permission from the computer's administrator.

    I'm admin on the computer, only user on it, I've added a new user to try delete it but didn't work, I can delete the .exe files on computer start before it's fully laoded. This has been happening for a few months now but unsure how to fix it, talked to microsft
    live tech and had no help.
