That sounds like a false positive,

Could be a false positive since its only seems to an update not the game itself.
How is its downloading an update in the form of a .dll ?
Rightclick Helldivers 2 in its directory and scan with windows defender or your AV see if it passes it.
What's your AV they are folks who should be informed.

Thanks, I also think it is a false positive, noting the name of the file that was scanned and doing a search though is not good. There are temporary files that can be included for an update that do not form part of the completed package when a game is updated, if that makes.

But, as mentioned, it was during the download and install process of that particular game and it was the first time ever such an occurrence has happened.

It was reported to MS at the time, it is their in built AV protection to Windows 11. IIRC they got a submitted sample and report.

It does seem that this situation affected others also...

Yep, good find.
The virus definition gets updated by folks who write codes to find problems.
So yes this makes sense
"There are temporary files that can be included for an update that do not form part of the completed package when a game is updated, if that makes."
You will need to decide let it it go best to be safe than face your game getting flagged and made unplayable.
Wait for good updates for the game.

It was more important to let the devs know if they are packaging material that is not signed and will get flagged in their updates.

Will do, long time no chat as such. Nice to see that you are still active and enjoying your games hopefully.
So much has passed since Life is Feudal Forest Village....!

Take care and all the best

Thanks, Nice to be back, playing games will have to hold off a bit longer.
Nice to see you hopefully you'll get some more information soon :)
