I got the following message for the first time today from my Windows 10 Pro (1909) system:

c2849148-33e4-473a-908a-8de0940c41bb?upload=true.jpg

What does it mean, as opposed to "Threat removed or restored," as seen previously for this driver.


The "threat" in question is not a Trojan but an experimental driver without a valid signature that I need to allow, and I've been able to do so in Windows Defender for a few weeks until now.


1) Did I do something wrong when I tried to allow and restore it this time?

2) What does "Status: Abandoned" mean?

3) How can I find out whether or not "this threat [has been] completely remediated?"

4) Is there any way to "erase" this event from Windows Defender's memory and start over?


Thanks in advance! -- JCW2
