Windows Defender - unable to remove items from the 'allowed list'

[Jeff]

I wonder if anyone can assist. I wish to remove some items from the Windows
Defender 'Allowed items' - but it will not allow me to do this under my sign
in, or that of admins. Indeed the 'allowed items' list doesn't even show any
items that have previously been permitted.

I have also tried to effect 'sysem restore', but it would appear that there
is no safe restore point.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards.
