    In the Windows Security> App & Browser Control> Reputation- Based protection it says, "Potentially unwanted app found. Your device may perform poorly." But when I click on review it shows nothing.

    Protection History Warning - Potentially unwanted app found

    This just popped up, potentially unwanted app found. Detected MiniTool_Partition_Wizard_Bundleinstaller?? Tried Remove, Quarantine - does not remove the Yellow Triangle. Anybody else seen this?? False positive?? Had 2 instances, blocked the first one.

    Protection History Warning - Potentially unwanted app found

    Not exactly a false positive, more a precaution as MiniTool bundle optional apps from their partners in their installer. See this thread, in particular post #2 from MiniToolSupport themselves.
