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.

How recover file form Defender quarantine

I use windows 20H2 and plugged in a usk drive with portable apps and windows defender deleted one of the files (a key reader & backup) to quarantine.
I've used this stick many times and the file is clean, although I can understands as a key reader why Windows would block it
As I use Malwarebytes never had anything flagged before by Defender.



Under Windows security - Virus and Threat protection it show Malwarebytes. Although the Defender firewall app is installed the Defender A/V app is not, or so I thought.
Are there any suggestions on how to
a. recover file from quarantine (I may be able to get replacement from elsewhere)
b. prevent Defender from quarantining this file in the future

Thanks in advance for your help
