Windows Defender "Start Actions" Button Not Working

Windows Defender is telling me "Virus & threat protection. Threats found. Start the recommended actions." There is a button below, which says "Start actions". Clicking this button has no effect. Should I just ignore it?

I'm on Windows 10 Pro, version 1703.

 

Current Threats found but cannot Start Actions!

"Current Threats found but cannot Start Actions!" Windows Security recognizes a threat after running a full scan and suggests to "Start Actions". However, when I select the button, no options appear to handle the threat! Is this a dead-end situation? Is there nothing else to do?

I suspect it may be a crypto mining app (PUA). The computer has been locking up at random times, so for me, this is no minor issue, but I cannot find a solution how to remove the malicious unwanted app from running or executing itself in the background.

What further steps or actions can I take to remove this unwanted app?
