    Windows Defender deleted my download without permission


    I downloaded a large archive from Edge browser, but the file was deleted immediately after finish. It says virus detected and there is NO WAY to restore it! Now I have to waste another 3 hours to re-download that file! Is this a bug or design issue? If not, could someone tell me how to stop this without turning off Windows Defender?

    :)

    Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


    Suggestion:
    1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
      x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
    2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
    3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
    4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
      NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.

    I am trying this, but it's taking a very long time.

    My windows defender has been deleted how do I restore it?

    If Windows Defender has been deleted from your computer, you can reinstall it by following these steps:

    1. Go to the Microsoft website and download the Windows Defender installer.
    2. Run the installer and follow the instructions to complete the installation.
    3. Once installed, Windows Defender should be automatically enabled and running on your computer.
