By default in Windows 10 (version 2004 and later), Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocks apps that are considered PUA, for Enterprise (E5) devices. Potentially unwanted applications (PUA) are not considered viruses, malware, or other types of threats, but they might perform actions on endpoints which adversely affect endpoint performance or use. _PUA_ can also refer to an application that has a poor reputation, as assessed by Microsoft Defender ATP, due to certain kinds of undesirable behavior.
