Doesn't clear the Protection history for me #6

Closed DcR-NL closed 1 month ago

DcR-NL commented 1 month ago

Tried both scripts (single and every restart) on Windows 11 Pro 23H2, but my protection history isn't empty after a reboot. Am I doing something wrong?

The "Protected folder access blocked" is not logged the same as a virus/malware detection. I'll do some testing and see what can be done.

BTW, these messages may be caused by a legit app that just needs to be added to the allowed list. See this tutorial.

That explains it. I hope you do find a way because the list is huge on my end; takes at least 10 seconds to load. Sadly all of the entries remain after even after allowing an app.

The script now also clears "Protected folder access blocked" history.
