How do I get Microsoft Defender to scan a restored file?

[Ev_Miller_CF]

I ran a Defender scan on a folder, and it came back with a positive hit. I quarantined the file. Later I wanted to examine the file, so I restored it. Once I made a copy, I wanted Defender to quarantine it again, so I ran a custom scan on the folder where the file resides. I get a message "Items skipped during scan. The Windows Defender Antivirus scan skipped an item due to exclusion or network scanning settings". I checked the exclusions list, but there were none listed.


How do I get Microsoft Defender to no longer exclude the file?
