Severely malicious running process detected by Windows Defender in 22610 update
While installing the Windows 11 Dev update to build 22610 today, Windows Defender arrested "Severe" malware, an actively running process, not just an inactive file. The update errored with 0xc190011f...
Nothing was detected by the Microsoft Safety Scanner.
Great - this confirms that Microsoft Defender works correctly!
The warning you received was caused by the latest version, or an unidentified insider program process (Defender downloaded the latest threat definitions) it caused that the danger was no longer detected!
Thank you for your post because such problems need to be clarified - of course you understand that the diagnostic data was automatically transferred to Microsoft - this helps a lot!
- "this confirms that Microsoft Defender works correctly!... it [Windows Defender] caused that the danger was no longer detected!" But if this item is to be truly malicious, what about all the users with a different antivirus? Why should users have to use use Microsoft antivirus to be protected against Microsoft update malware? If it's a false positive, then that's not quite proper.
"The warning you received was caused by the latest version" I know it is caused by 22610, and not anything else I did. That's why I posted this.- This problem recurs in other users - the insider program, so it is not a malicious process.

Actually I have no idea what this insider program is and I have a windows 10 and I'm still getting this error. It can't be from the beta Win11 because I've never tried that!
