Example? Personally I have not run into a single such false positive for the past 10 years. Microsoft SmartScreen sometimes shows a warning for executables that are not digitally signed, but that's not Defender, and this is nowhere like flagging as a virus.

qBittorrent which is a reputable and popular torrent client used to download linux isos, gets flagged and removed as "potentially unwanted applications" by windows defender.
