  1. WINDOWS DEFENDER KEEPS SAYING ACTION NEEDED


    So i downloaded a game trainer and windows defender did its job by blocking a supposed trojanimage provided. It quarantined the threat but later on gave another notification of that same threat and this time clicking Start action doesn't work. Personally i know the threat is been taken care of so why does it still say "action needed"? From the looks of things the threat is contained so i don't understand why its behaving that way. Can anyone please help with a solution?

    :)

    Windows Defender shows actions recommended but no actions listed

    hi All,

    Windows Defender shows actions recommended but no actions listed when I click it, it shows a exclamation mark inside yellow triangle, but security dashboard is all green. Not sure why Windows defender keeps showing yellow exclamation when there is nothing
    to worry about regarding security.

    Any help to identify the issue appreciated, or if someone confirms it's a bug then happy to ignore it till its fixed.
