    Windows Defender isn't removing some of the threats

    Defender notified me about 2 PUA's and I took the suggested action of removing them, but after I click on remove, it doesn't go. It shows that the threats are active. I uninstalled and removed the folder and the files/software which were affected but the
    threats are still there. The threats which I am getting are PUA:Win32/Presenoker and App:Cheat_Engine_BundleInstaller. I need some suggestions on how can I remove those completely.

    WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

    I'm having a problem with Windows Defender the threats found after I ran a full scan that last maybe around 10 hours cannot be removed by windows defender. I selected the remove option and it shows processing but after a while
    the threats are still listed and active. I already ran a offline scan and a quick scan but neither fix the problem.

    I already ran a secure boot and see if third-party apps are causing the problem but nothing works the threats are still listed and active. I checked the location of the file and manually deleted it even on my recycle bin but
    the threats are still there and labeled as active. This very annoying. I think this is an error in the windows defender part because I installed Malwarebytes and ran a full scan which took a couple of hours and found nothing because like I've said I have deleted
    the file location where the threats are.

    Windows Defender/Security - no option to "Allow" potential threats?

    If you want to control what does defender do to threats you can do it trough GPO in the following location: Computer configuration\Administrative templates\Windows components\Microsoft defender antivirus\Threats Here configure option: Specify threats upon which default action should not be taken when detected Threats are categorized by level, you assign default action per threat level.
    EDIT: Btw. to open GPO (Local Group Policy) follow these steps: 1. click on start button 2. type: gpedit.msc 3. right click on gpedit.msc and run as Administrator
