    No Quarantine in Windows Defender?


    I installed Windows 10 1903 and noticed in the Windows Defender settings that the Quarantine section has been removed.

    Where would I find the Quarantine within Windows Defender in 1903?

    See this View Protection History of Windows Defender Antivirus in Windows 10

    Any threats which have been dealt with are removed after a certain time so you may not see anything.

    You can also view quarantined items by running these commands from an admin command prompt:

    cd %ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender
    MpCmdRun.exe -Restore -ListAll
