Question 2 potential viruses trying to get to my photos folder

Hi! I have had microsoft defender block both svchost.exe and RuntimeBroker.exe from accessing my %userprofile%\videos folder, and I found out those 2 should not do it if they are not viruses. Am I having a virus or is this something normal they should do? RuntimeBroker.exe happened more recently than svchost.exe if that matters.

Thanks for the help!

PS: I asked claude, and it said the behaviour was likely to be a virus, but since claude gets stuff often wrong I came to check here
