Windows 10: Protection History

The application in the photo was never installed or blocked and removed with military grade file shredder yet still shows up in protection history. I thought I was downloading a driver not a spyware utility. I have tried to remove it from protection history using instructions for windows 10 both from command-line and the GUI. It is annoying seeing a notification for a package that doesn't exist.

Protection History Question

Question on Protection History. See screenshot.
On Protection History, how do I delete only the 2 items for Severe listings? In the past, I seem to remember deleting entries like this in the Protection History page with 1 or 2 clicks. However, I don’t see that delete option now.
Thanks,
Jerry

 

Clearing Windows Defender history

Hey, what you need to do is so simple, just follow the steps below exactly in order:

1. Turn OFF Real-time Protection
2. Turn OFF Cloud-delivered Protection
3. Go to this folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service
4. Delete the contents in the folder
5. Turn ON Real-time Protection
6. Turn ON Cloud-delivered Protection

That's it... Now check protection History, it's empty.
Done!
