Windows Defender Protection History - Unable to remove threat entry

I had a look at the below methods from here:
Clear Protection History in Windows Defender on Windows 10

Method 1 worked.
Method 2 did not. Even after a system reboot.

Since the log event from the Defender detection indicated as Threat Removed, then there is no reason to re-install Windows?
Sorry to be so paranoid, but I am usually careful not getting anything bad onto my system.

When I was using Edge, I did not have any extensions installed and always been careful on what I download.

Turn off push notifications then don't worry about it.

I would really wish to know that even if the Threat was removed by Defender, should I reinstall Windows?

Personally i would not reinstall windows. It looks like a minor problem with a rogue push notification. If Edge cache and notifications were cleared then why worry. It's not going to be some heavyweight data stealing virus.

If concerned run Crowdinspect for a few hours and see what's connecting to where.

CrowdInspect: Free Host-Based Process Inspection - CrowdStrike

It's nothing serious and has been removed. Maybe it wasn't a push notification. It seems to have only existed in Edge cache.

If you don't get any more threat notifications and didn't install any extensions or programs or update them the day the incident happended or else the previous day I really wouldn't worry about it. You could always run another third party malware scanner just to check if anything is found.

If you are concerned about malware connecting to a server somewhere and sending stolen data then you'd leave it running whatever programs you are using and check out any suspicious results.

I wish that still worked for me.
