Defender sees powershell file as virus

I had been using powershell script attached with this for quite a long time. Now windows security is deleting that file as virus. Any suggestion what it finds as security threat?
When I try to exclude that file I get msg as below

 

Unable to open .IDK file format on Windows 10.

Hi Derek,



You may be facing the above issue due to the un-assigned program or application to open
.IDK file format on the computer.



Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• Do you have an application or program installed to open .IDK file format on the computer?
• Do you get any error message/error code when you try to open .IDK file format?

Interface Development Kit Archive (IDK) files are
Uncommon Files primarily associated with OS/2 Saved SKF Format File (IBM). If an application or program associated to open a file format is installed and set as default, on clicking/opening the same will open the file in the
program assigned in the settings on the computer.



Right click on the .IDK file and hover the mouse pointer over at
Open with and select a program or application from the context menu and check if you are able to access the file type.



If you are not, assign a program/application to open .IDK file format by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Default programs and select the top most search result.
• Scroll down the page and click on Choose default apps by file type from the window.
• Locate .IDK file format, click on the program and select the application you want to view the file type from
  Choose an App window.
  
• Close the window and check if the changes are effective.

Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of not able to open .IDK file format on the computer in the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.
