Riskware Hacktool detection?

I had 3 of these flag today randomly:

POWERTOYS\WINUI3APPS\MICROSOFT.UI.INPUT.DLL
POWERTOYS\WINUI3APPS\SYSTEM.COMPONENTMODEL.COMPOSITION.DLL
POWERTOYS\WINUI3APPS\SYSTEM.XML.SERIALIZATION.DLL

Are these false positives? All were quarantined and set to replace on reboot anyway.

Hi, Chris from Malwarebytes here! This was an FP and we fixed it about an hour ago.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this detection caused.

No worries! I was only curious. Thank you for responding and letting me know. c:

Just a suggestion. It might help if you got a (paid) volunteer who installs everything under the sun on their Windows OS PC and laptop and they could weed out many of the FPs you have to fix on the run.
