    Installing Apps on Windows 10 Has Windows Defender Finding Malware

    Hi Tommy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.


    • Is this issue specific to third party apps?
    I would suggest you to open Windows defender and add exclusions and check if it helps. Follow the steps to add exclusions in windows Defender.


    • Type Windows defender settings in the search bar and press enter

    • Under Exclusions click on Add Exclusion
    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.

    Windows Defender Battery Life Warning - infinite timeout

    After the 1703 Creators Update installed, I received a battery power warning that "The sleep timeout on this device is currently set to infinite". Opening the power settings and correcting the battery timeout from 'Never' to 15 minutes did not clear the
    warning, even after a restart. I then changed the plugged in setting from Never to 5 hours and restarted but the warning still persists.

    UPDATE

    I tried the solution suggested below and assumed this had no effect because SFC did not find any problems and the flag remained. Following the steps for the clean boot includes disabling Defender warnings so I could not see if there was a warning. After
    the failure of the DISC process and a further reboot, I used Task Manager to re-enable Defender warnings. The warning is no longer reported. It may be that simply using the start-up tab in Task Manager to disable warnings followed by a reboot and re-enabling
    warnings is all that is required. I tried to test this by setting the timeouts back to 'Never', but Defender no longer warns that I have an infinite timeout set...
