    Actually the computer is an older Dell, it was operating slow, I did a restart to try and get into safe mode, upon reboot the blue screen of death appeared. I ran through all the Dell Diagnostics in which none worked to repair the issue. The only option left was a backup/recovery. Well this reset the operating system back the Windows 8.1 and it did create a backup file with .inp files. Dell support would not help, computer was too old. I Took it over to Geek Squad, they ran a Dell recovery program. They determined the files were corrupted. I took it back reloaded Windows 10 and some apps. Aft

    Windows Defender keeps taking action on nonexistent threats on nonexistent scans

    I have a laptop (Dell Inspiron 3541) running Windows 10 v1803. Recently, I have been getting notifications from Windows Defender saying threats were found and removed on scnas that didn't happen.

    Some of the notifications are:

    and

    When I go to Windows Defender, it doesn't show any threats found - nor does it even show a recent scan. For example, I got one of the above notifications today, and this is what Windows Defender showed.

    I tried running a scan, but the ETA was 4 hours, then 20, then 70, and still kept going up.

    Is there a way I can find out what the "threats" are? Or make it stop sending these unnecessary notifications?

    WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

    I'm having a problem with Windows Defender the threats found after I ran a full scan that last maybe around 10 hours cannot be removed by windows defender. I selected the remove option and it shows processing but after a while
    the threats are still listed and active. I already ran a offline scan and a quick scan but neither fix the problem.

    I already ran a secure boot and see if third-party apps are causing the problem but nothing works the threats are still listed and active. I checked the location of the file and manually deleted it even on my recycle bin but
    the threats are still there and labeled as active. This very annoying. I think this is an error in the windows defender part because I installed Malwarebytes and ran a full scan which took a couple of hours and found nothing because like I've said I have deleted
    the file location where the threats are.
