    [Urgent] How to restore a quarantined file in Windows Defender?


    [repost]

    Windows Defender on my laptop quarantined steam_api.dll as a false alarm. I thought it's actually a tojan so I clicked on the 'Remove' button. However, I just found out that the file was perfect and I wanna restore it now. It is visible in 'Full History' tab but there is no button for restore or remove. Is there anything I can do to restore that file?

    here is how it looks

    Windows Defender is missing Restore Button for Quarantined Threats

    It wasn't listed under "Quarantined Threats", but was listed in "See full history" as quarantined. It has been about 2 hours
    and now it is listed under "Quarantined Threats" which now shows the Restore or Delete options. Something must be causing
    a delay in listing the quarantined file under "Quarantined Threats" after they have been found and quarantined by Defender.

    How can I get my files restored from Windows Defender quarantine?

    No, you defend them. [Urgent] How to restore a quarantined file in Windows Defender? :p They're not for Windows 10 and don't address my question.

    As I said, I've already clicked Restore and it doesn't restore them. I have also already added them to the Allowed list.
