Hello I wonder if anyone can help

I'm using Windows 10 Home & also use Windows Defender for protection

For some reason I am unable to clear the protection history , I have entries going back as far as 1/8/2020.

I have tried numerous ways to clear it , deleting scan history folder & turning off then on Real-time protection & Cloud-delivered protection,

Clearing Windows Defender logs in Event Viewer ,even changing the Local Group Policy Editor setting to delete scan item after 1 day ,

all with no success . I read in another post that adding other threats using Eicar might work , but I have also tried that & after deleting scan history folder

the Eicar Malware threats were removed but none of others in the list were.

Using Powershell I have set my preference to remove all threats & also change the scan purge items after delay to 1 day .

I have to admit that I am no that Tech savvy , but have run out of ideas & would appreciate any help given

thanks Chris
