Windows 10 Windows Defender - "Some of your files have been affected by ransomware" - but which files?

[Jackson321]

Hi,


I'm running Windows 10 and have 2 OneDrive accounts (one business and one personal) running on my machine. Upon waking my machine from hibernation I noticed that both OneDrive icons in the task window have red warning signs. I click each of them and the usual OneDrive screen opens showing recent changes but at the top is a bright red warning sign (below) saying:

"Signs of ransomware detected. Windows Defender Antivirus found and removed a threat. Wait until OneDrives is up to date, and then select Restore to restore the files that ransomware encryted."


The problem is that I have no idea what files were encrypted and what threat was detected.


The 'Ransomware Protection' panel in "Windows Security" offers an equally cryptic message under each of the OneDrive instances listed under "Ransomware data recovery":
"Some of your files have been affected by ransomware"


How do I find out:

1) what the threat was and how it has been dealt with

2) which files Windows believes have been affected


Thanks
