What you can try is clear the history, and retry the download. While you can click on 'see full history' to display all items that the security program quarantined, you will notice right away that the buttons to remove or restore files are missing there. Windows Defender Security Center limits the threats to five on that page. I mentioned the lack of details already, but it is just one of the issues that you may run into.Īnother is that you may only get old files listed under quarantined threats. The current version of Windows Defender Security Center has quite a few issues in this regard. Remove deletes the file from the quarantine, restore on the other hand may restore it on the system so that you may access it.
Details displays the file name, but it may not be enough to identify the file, as Windows Defender may display a temporary name. A click on the row displays options to restore the file or remove it, and to display details.
