To remove or restore quarantined items Open Windows Defender (click Start, type Windows Defender in the search field, and press Enter). Click Tools, and then click Quarantined items. Review each item and then, for each one, click Remove or Restore. If you want remove all quarantined items from your computer, click Remove All.
