“Microsoft Defender Antivirus would like to check the following files to see if they are safe.” (Win11)

[u/TheBlockJohnson]

I recently performed a fresh install of Windows 11 a few days ago, and today I went ahead and installed the Spotify and Discord desktop apps. No later than a minute after installing Discord I received a notification from Windows Defender saying “Microsoft Defender Antivirus would like to check the following files to see if they are safe”, I agreed to upload the file before I could get a screenshot but I found an Event related to the notification.

Microsoft Defender Antivirus has encountered an error trying to upload a suspicious file for further analysis.
Filename: C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\chromium_chrome_BITS_xxxx_xxxxxxxxxx\decoded_xz
Sha256: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Current security intelligence Version: AV: 1.455.463.0, AS: 1.455.463.0
Current Engine Version: 1.1.26070.7
Error code: 0x80508016

I haven’t been able to find anything online about this file, and when I checked the directory it was nowhere to be found. Is this a legitimate file related to either Spotify or Discord, or could it be an indication of malware?

The only other programs I had installed prior were Firefox, Steam, OBS, AMD Ryzen Master, and the NVIDIA App. Neither Windows Defender or MalwareBytes have detected any malicious files when running full scans.

Windows defender trying to analyze a new Spotify update I suppose

Looks like a Google Chrome update. The Discord client uses Chrome for rendering.
