Windows 10: Windows defender showing the same threat twice one removed and one as remediation incomplete

Hello, I downloaded an internet file which Windows defender flagged as a trojan. It was an old version of winamp music player feeling nostalgic. It was downloaded from oldversion.com. I'm pretty sure it was a false positive but still removed it and it's gone from my computer. There were two threads one for the exe file and one for something in edge cache which is the browser I used for downloading it. However in Windows defender history I can see the threats twice. One is showing as removed and there's another one from a minute later still showing as remediation incomplete abandoned on histo

Remediation Incomplete Message

Remediation Incomplete Message

I had a Trojan threat that indicated a virus was in Temporary files. I ran CCleaner to clear temporary files. I then checked Windows Security and it said my Virus and Threat Protection was ok. See screenshot.

Later, I rechecked Protection History and found the Remediation Incomplete message. See screenshot. I read that sometimes this message can appear after clearing a virus threat.

I ran CCleaner again and also Malwarebytes. I also did a Full scan on Windows Defender. In all scans they did not show I had any virus issues.

So, how should I treat the Remediation Incomplete message?

Thanks,
Jerry

Windows Security Protection History-remediation incomplete

Windows 10 security found two trojans that are now listed in my protection history as severe-remediation incomplete. And yet my virus and threat protection shield icon has a green checkmark. What if anything should I do? Why does it say remediation incomplete?

A manual scan by Malwarebytes identifies zero threats.
