So uhhh…

Are these viruses? Any help is greatly appreciated.

They appear to be windows updates and as such will be protected.

Files that can’t be scanned are just that, not that they are infected or suspect.

Don’t mean to hijack your topic but I got the same results when I done a full scan last night.

I’ve had this too, though with me it only shows one file. It began to appear in my scans as soon as Windows 10 first became available to download on my computer.
