[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 980745, member: 32260"] This will work only for standard detections. All detections related to advanced settings (like ASR rules, etc.) cannot be cleared in this way. One has to additionally delete the file: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\mpenginedb.db Unfortunately, this requires the TrustedInstaller privilege to stop the windefend service. One has to use AdvanvedRun, Defender Control, etc., to do this. See for example: [URL unfurl="false"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/configuredefender-utility-for-windows-10.79039/post-954124[/URL] [/QUOTE]
