Hi, I can fix this issue rather easily by adding some code in the handler for the custom context menu, but I would like to inquire about the reasons behind the Defender flags your security response team have been giving us lately. We have difficulties rolling out updates due to this, making users who are still on the latest release version risk facing breakages due to the ever-updating nature of Windows.

I have tried, unfortunately they flagged this as HackTool:Win64/ExplorerPatcher!MTB and does not want to treat this as false positive (yes, it even got ExplorerPatcher in the threat name)
