False Positive? Winring0 detection in MSI Center

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice regarding a threat detected by Windows Defender during a system scan. The alert was tied to the Winring0 driver used by MSI software.

I have already taken the following steps:

  1. Uninstalled all MSI-related software.

  2. Reinstalled MSI Center using the installer from the official MSI website.

However, the alert still appears in my Protection History, and I get an error when trying to "Remove" it from the log. Do you think a clean Windows install is necessary, or is this a common issue with MSI drivers?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
