What version of Windows 10 are you using the transformation pack on?

Summarise the issue

Randomly while using my computer today, Defender quarantined injector.exe from Aero Window Manager as malicious. Attached is a screenshot of Defender's report on the file. I assume this is a false detection, and I have no idea why it would only flag it now, and not when I installed several days ago.

Through this, I discovered that defender also flagged injector.exe in a different directory on Oct 2nd. I don't believe this is related to my previous issue, as injector.exe (and OpenGlass.dll) were both still present in c:\awm, and injector.exe was still running in Task Manager.

How do you reproduce the bug/inaccuracy?

Attempt to scan injector.exe with Windows Defender, or just wait several days?

Yeah i had this issue where defender would flag stuff with machine learning (ml stands for that) which causes a bunch of false positives (and awm is the major one as it hooks into dwm).
I made a poll in 2 discord servers about removing AWM and both won with most votes for the removal. So hopefully, a new update will make it so it will have less false positives.
