[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 974060, member: 78686"] I had this issue again yesterday. The file was downloaded by Firefox and wasn't detected initially. But when I entered the Downloads folder, the file was accessed and detected by Defender. Defender took a while to remove it and according to its UI, the file was quarantined. But in reality, the file was still there. Every time I entered the folder, the same thing was repeating every time. Restarted the system, but still the same. As I previously mentioned in the Configure Defender thread, disabling Windows Defender Sandbox fixes this issue for me (on Windows 11). So yesterday I disabled the Defender sandbox, restarted the system and this time Defender quarantined the file accurately. Weird solution of a weird issue. [/QUOTE]
