@mikeekert Windows defender has a very high false positive rate on Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml which is a very generic detection caused by Windows Defender's machine learning detection algorithm. My PR does reduce the Mitre Attack score slightly but it probably won't fix the issue. It is a clean false positive that happens from time to time, you'll just need to add an exclusion for the affected versions. As it is a local ML detection that takes place, I have not been able to replicate the detection on at least 3 Windows devices I've tried. (10+11)

Yep, same here, haven't been able to replicate it :(
