windows defender quarantaines explorer++

Window defender just quarantined explorer++, saying it is a severe threat. When I clicked 'learn more' it opened the following page:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/th ... 2147731250

I'm using explorer++ version 1.4.0.2210 dev (64-bit build) on windows 11 home 22H2 build 22621.2283

Windows Security Application Version: 1000.25873.0.9001
Windows Security Service Version: 1.0.2306.10002-0
Antimalware Client Version: 4.18.23080.2006
Engine Version: 1.1.23080.2005
Antivirus Version: 1.397.1402.0
Antispyware Version: 1.397.1402.0

Of course I'm hoping it's a false positive.

Kind regards, Klaas

I have seen a false positive from Defender at least once before. In that case, it was fixed fairly quickly (in less than 24 hours, if I remember correctly). In this case, scanning Explorer++ 1.4.0.2210 with security intelligence version 1.397.1414.0 shows no results, so hopefully it's already fixed.
