    This message keeps popping up about every 10 seconds and is hogging my system resources:Virus & Threat ProtectionPotentially Unwanted Application foundThis Application was removed because it is blocked by your administratorThis infinite loop is taking up 50% of my CPU and 80% of my main memory! And it's a pretty good computer with 12th Gen IntelR CoreTM i9-12900HK 2.50 GHz and 32 GB of RAM.When I first started getting this message, the application in question was NOT removed. Now I have uninstalled and completely deleted the application in question, and I am still getting the error

    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.

    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).
