that's OK but in my opinion it is much easier to simply tell Defender to

Sure, if that's an option. I was not offered that option. As I
mentioned in another thread, Windows Defender seems to have changed
how it operates.
Hi Peter,
Windows Defender seems to have two modes of operation. If it
quarantines something via its so-called realtime protection it
adds the item to the quarantined items list. OTOH if it
quarantines something as a result of a scan, it puts it into
another list where the restore action is confusingly called
"Allow". Either way, restoring or allowing, gets the quarantined
item released and restored in my experience.
