Windows Detecting a threat (possible false positive?)

Today Microsoft Defender sends me notifications about detected and blocked threat: Behavior:Win32/Hive.ZY pid:4204:74439979291537.

I've read that it is likely a false positive as many people experience this problem and it happened since the last Defender update. I did scans with Malwarebytes, ESET Online Scanner and Defender itself and they didn't detect anything. I didn't download anything in the last week or so.

Update Defender.

Common issue and a FP.

Do I have to update it manually? I checked for updates today and nothing was found. The notification appeared when the PC turned on today.
