I understand this is a long-time problem, but I nevertheless wonder if I have been compromised.

From Windows security

Affected items:

Trials at Administrator delete of scan logs don't seem to work via C:program Data...don't have sufficient permission (limited to "SYSTEM") and can't add or alter users or groups. Security tab lists Account Unknown (S-...).
Event Viewer access seems to remove detection events, but restart still shows PUA.

Is the permissions problem because Win Defender is operational?? If so how you stop it to allow deletion of scans history?
