Hello Everyone,

I posted earlier also but some smart guy remove my question considering repeated or not relevant.

Now I am posting some part of it and most critical to me at the time which should be critical to Microsoft's Smart guys.

I am trying to run the Microsoft Safety Scanner after updating to Windows 11 and it detects some infected files however it finishes without cleaning up the detections.

Also there are no detections in Microsoft defender.

Please see attached pictures for clarity.

Best Regards,

Farhan

    No one was being a "smart guy".

    The thread was removed because it's was a

    duplicate thread. Your other thread was involved

    and being answered by an IA, so it was appropriate

    to leave it where it was and not move it to the

    Windows 11 forum.

    Maybe it's not yet compatible with Windows 11.

    File the issue in the Feedback Hub and share the

    link here for Eddie (MSFT) to see.

    I understand but I believe that smart guy didn't read the complete post and without reading just deleted.

    I had written that same IA asked me to post in this forum thats why I posted. Otherwise I don't like posting unnecessarily which would waste my time and others.
