Windows Defender bug or actual malware?

I pressed "allow" on a .dll file that I trusted reasonably well and that windows and VirusTotal identified as a generic threat. Instantly after that Defender stops running and says it can't start the service. So I block the file again and try to restart defender but it keeps turning off and scans dont get completed.

Now I was about to wipe Windows after that but the only thing holding me back is that it seems like a lot of people are having similar issues with defender today. In safemode Windows Defender just displays a black screen and a message that its been disabled by my IT administrator. malwarebytes deep scan found no threats though

What do you guys think? Should I trust malwarebytes and pray it was the bug going on rn or just wipe it?
