It’s a false positive and happens with every build, it’s super dumb, I’ve submitted it to Microsoft so this shouldn’t happen 😅 maybe it takes a while to update all the databases?

You can safely bypass it. If you’re worried you can check it out yourself on the ms website.

Hope this helps!

When I unzip the latest windows version I get a notification saying that Windows Defender found a Trojan! Windows 11  
0.6 works fine.

I’ve reuploaded it to Microsoft, you might want to try updating your virus database as well. [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/defenderupdates](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/defenderupdates) - thanks!
