Not here... Can you provide proof and the name of the detected malware? I'm on 22000.527 update.

I am on 527 update too. Well, today I could download it just fine, not flagged but it's not working at all. I've been using it a lot in the past months.

It freezes like this, nothing happens after starting it. I placed other tool which still works just as comparison. I could try helping to debug this but not sure where to start from.

Hi, sorry, I don't have Windows 11 yet. But when I can do some tests, I will be fix if possible.
