You find the option on the Virus & threat protections settings page.
Add the file that you just downloaded to the list of exclusions (you cannot do so before it is downloaded), and turn the protective modules back on afterwards. Go to Virus & threat protection > Virus & threat protection settings to turn off the protective modules there. While it is usually not suggested to turn off the security tools of the system, you sometimes have no other recourse but to do so. Turn off the protection for the time being, and download the file again. It happens that you get a failed download due to the detection of a virus, but no immediate listing under quarantined threats. 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. Otherwise, if you’d like to leave it on, you can independently control three sub-options with checkboxes: “Recent Activity And Scan Results,” “Threats Found, But No Immediate Action Is Needed,” and “Files Or Activities Are Blocked.A click on the row displays options to restore the file or remove it, and to display details. If you’d like to disable all Defender-related notifications, click the toggle switch until it says “Off.” 
The first section, “Virus & Threat Protection Notifications,” controls notifications related to Windows Defender. In “Virus & Threat Protection Settings,” scroll down to the very bottom of the page and click “Change Notification Settings.”
In Windows Security, navigate to “Virus & Threat Protection.” Then click “Manage Settings.” (Windows Defender is now known as Windows Security.) Here’s how to manage those notifications (or turn them off completely) in Windows 10.įirst, open the Start menu and type “Windows Security.” Press Enter or click the “Windows Security” shortcut to launch it. While protecting your PC, Windows Defender sends frequent notifications that can become bothersome over time.
