  1. Windows Defender: How to remove a file from quarantine?


    I'm an audio producer and Microsoft Defender suddenly thinks that a file in my audio samples library is Trojan:Script/Oneeva.A!ml. Defender automatically quarantines the threat, but unfortunately this cripples the audio software that relies upon these sample files. I think Defender is in error; how do I un-quarantine the alleged threat?I found a Microsoft article that describes how to remove a threat from quarantine, but when I follow the steps, contrary to the instructions there is no option for removing the threat from my version of Defender.In the mean time, the only way to get my audio sof

  2. Removing Quarantined Items in Windows Defender

    Windows Defender quarantined some harmful items but did not remove them from my pc. Windows Defender did not request removal. Should I just leave the items quarantined or remove them myself? If removal is recommended, how am I to go about

    doing so, as Windows Defender did not list the items in the Detect section where threats are placed for removal?

  3. Windows Defender - File Removed

    Windows defender has removed file from my PC as being a medium level threat, I know this file and I also know that windows detects it a false positive.

    I want Windows defender to return the file to where it was removed from, but am unable to get it to do this.

    I go into defender and its not listed under Quarantined Items.

    but is listed under all detected Items. How can I find this file and return it to where it should be?

  4. Windows Defender: How to remove a file from quarantine?

    Where are the files that windows defender quarantines?

    Where are the files that Windows Defender quarantines? I turned on the computer and Defender said a file was dangerous. I clicked the option to Allow the file but it was quarantined anyway. In Defender I can see that it was quarantined and I clicked Restore
    but the file was not restored. So I clicked Allow but it still was not restored and now there is no option for restoring the file. In other words Restore and Allow options do not function which is why I am asking this question. Hide hidden files is disabled
    and I am searching with administrator privileges: There is only one folder in C:\Program Files\Windows Defender. And that folder is named en-US and there is nothing in there like a quarantined file. Sorry for posting this other information but this question
    has been asked repeatedly elsewhere but doesn't get answered because too many people for some reason suggest things like use the Restore option etc. I am not asking for that. I need this file badly. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me where
    Windows Defender stores files that it quarantines? Thank you.
