Hi all,

Wondered if anyone else has suffered the same bug/issue, and might have a workaround?

So I use the built-in Windows Defender on Windows 10, it's fully up to date on the latest version of Windows 10 (1903).

I've just received a notification from Windows to say one of my files has been quarantined. If I open the app, and select 'Actions > Restore' to get my file back, nothing happens. No info messages, no errors, and the file is not restored at all.

Anyone had similar issues? How did you manage to get your files back?
Pretty big flaw from MS if this is a common issue :/
