Windows 10: Windows Security saying there's a threat but I can't start actions

it looks like this and when I click "start actions" it doesn't do anything I just did a scan and it's still therewads

:)

 

Current Threats found but cannot Start Actions!

"Current Threats found but cannot Start Actions!" Windows Security recognizes a threat after running a full scan and suggests to "Start Actions". However, when I select the button, no options appear to handle the threat! Is this a dead-end situation? Is there nothing else to do?

I suspect it may be a crypto mining app (PUA). The computer has been locking up at random times, so for me, this is no minor issue, but I cannot find a solution how to remove the malicious unwanted app from running or executing itself in the background.

What further steps or actions can I take to remove this unwanted app?

Windows Defender/Security - no option to "Allow" potential threats?

If you want to control what does defender do to threats you can do it trough GPO in the following location:

Computer configuration\Administrative templates\Windows components\Microsoft defender antivirus\Threats
Here configure option:
Specify threats upon which default action should not be taken when detected

Threats are categorized by level, you assign default action per threat level.

EDIT:
Btw. to open GPO (Local Group Policy) follow these steps:

1. click on start button
2. type: gpedit.msc
3. right click on gpedit.msc and run as Administrator

 

Windows Security - How to set default threat action to Remove

When a notification of a threat appears, I launch the Windows Security application. If I click the down-arrow on each of the threats shown, the default action is to Quarantine. So, I have to click Remote on each one before clicking Start Actions. Is there a way to set the default action to Remove, so I can just click the Start Actions button to remove the threats from my computer?
