>[!IMPORTANT]
|

|
>Windows Defender Antivirus detects and remediates files based on many factors. Sometimes, completing a remediation requires a reboot. Even if the detection is later determined to be a false positive, the reboot must be completed to ensure all additonal remediation steps have been completed.

|

>If you are certain Windows Defender AV quarantined a file based on a false positive, you can restore the file from quarantine after the device reboots. See [Restore quarantined files in Windows Defender AV](restore-quarantined-files-windows-defender-antivirus.md).
