    How to know what files are quarantined by Windows Defender


    Like the first photo, sometimes Windows Defender shows which file it detected and quarantined. In this case, it's fine.

    But, sometimes, it doesn't show what files it detected and quarantined, and shows only perhaps "quarantined" files, and I don't know what were the files! Moreover, like the photo below, if I go to the folders of the addresses, nothing welcomes me.

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Local Copy

    If nothing shows in there, it was not quarantined would be my guess.
