Fortunately, a file flagged by Defender is not always permanently deleted. In many cases, it is simply isolated in quarantine and can still be restored.<\/p>\n<p>If you are trying to find <strong>how to recover quarantined files from Windows Defender<\/strong>, start with Windows Security rather than installing recovery software immediately. Microsoft Defender can normally restore an item while it still exists in quarantine. However, if Defender has already removed the file and no quarantine copy remains, the problem becomes a deleted-file recovery case.<\/p>\n<p>This guide walks through both situations. You will learn how to restore a quarantined item through Protection History, use Microsoft&#8217;s MpCmdRun utility when the graphical interface fails, recover a genuinely removed file, and prevent the same trusted file from being quarantined again.<\/p>\n<p>For broader cases involving files that have actually been erased, see our <a href=\"\/data-recovery\/deleted-file-recovery\">deleted file recovery<\/a> guide.
