Windows 10: Why does my computer keep on finding a threat, but it's not appearing in protection history?

I've done a few quick scans again and again but it keeps on saying "Threat Found, Action Taken". Although it says that, the threat doesn't show up in the protection history. This keeps on popping up every time I scan

Security Threats Under Virus & threat protection and Protection History

Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

This could be a problem in the Windows Defender protection history when a threat is already removed and keep showing the alert. Clearing the Windows Defender history should fix this problem.

Step 1:

1-Right-click on Start and click on Run

2-Type: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History and click on OK

3-Open the Service folder, select all files inside it and delete them

4-Close the file explorer

Step 2:

1-Click on Start, search for Windows Security, and click on that

2-Click on Virus & Threat protection then click on Manage settings

3-Toggle the button to Off and then to On again, for Real-Time protection and Cloud-delivered protection

Then perform a Windows Defender offline scan, you can see how to do it at this link.
