I just tried again two times and it was flagged both times with Version 1.443.1090.0 . I will stay with 1.61.1 till MS figures this out.Winaero Tweaker 1.64.2.0 is launching fine for me today with Windows Defender definitions 1.443.1076.0
Defender can be weird about repeating false positives. Have you you tried to clearing the Defender history?I just tried again two times and it was flagged both times with Version 1.443.1090.0 . I will stay with 1.61.1 till MS figures this out.

Bravo Ed, this is why I had to make a video, I could not capture a screenshot.You gotta be quick, you've got about 3 seconds to catch and allow it.

I was thinkin that, as it stated it would not remediate it in the future.I removed it from my allowed threats list and it still runs, but maybe having allowed it once makes a difference.
Well I installed a different GPU Driver and used DDU to do it in safe mode and that seemed to undo WT so I did it again and this time I will leave the allow in Def alone. MSI removed it from my allowed threats and it still works.![]()
I am totally not sure about this but I believe the threat becomes tied to the program that triggered it.I removed it from my allowed threats and it still works.![]()
Unfortunately, I thought that would happen.Well I installed a different GPU Driver and used DDU to do it in safe mode and that seemed to undo WT so I did it again and this time I will leave the allow in Def alone. MS![]()
Oh yeah. Same result here. Sorry I missed that.Well, a simple reboot and the alarm is raised again. That confirms that.
It has to stay allowed.

Starting with signature version 1.443.1000.0, Defender no longer flags Winaero Tweaker.
