where is the quarantined defender files put?
i needed the drive free of some files , so was copying a folder I wanted, and Defender was objecting.
So I added an exception, but maybe it did not take cause the file is nowhere to be found.
It says e: which was the usb drive, so put in another usb drive, and selected to restore, but it is NOT restoring the missing file.
It is the name that made defender react as it is an audio driver install patch program, and now is it gone?

I found the patch online. Only way to download was use Firefox, and I turned off Defender temporarily.
Then I uploaded it to a folder on my google drive
I have no idea what Defender did with the original file. But it certainly was not able to restore it, even though it had a menu option.
When I made an 'exception' it never showed an exception in the list, so I suppose it never did make an exception.
