Build 25281, Windows Security Icon/Shortcut missing from System Tray after KB5007651 Platform update Version 1.0.2301.24001.

On Jan 24, 2023, W.U. downloaded and updated Windows security with this KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2301.24001).

After this update the security icon on the system tray showed a yellow warning triangle, and then the icon completely disappeared after a reboot.

No way to get the icon back on the System Tray. 🤷‍♂️

I can still open security if I search for it in settings, but there is no apparent reason for the shortcut on the system tray to be missing.

It looks like starting with Build 25272 the windows security updates are messed up and out of sync with the currently installed windows Build.

I could reproduce the same issue restoring a backup of Build 25281 and then going through W.U. checking for updates, the same scenario repeated again.

Right after the update shows yellow warning on security icon:

Everything green here, but Firewall & network protection is missing, that may be the reason for the yellow warning.

    I need to get some sleep, we'll continue tomorrow.

    Thanks, good night!

    OK, good night, I never get those when I pause the updates.

    Leave the network disconnected and see if one is already in the backup.

    Are you saying that both the 7001 and 24001 are coming is as soon as you connect to the internet.

    I thought you had the updates suspended?

    When I cleanup both, W.U. only downloads the second one 24001

    Yes, IDK if both come exactly at the same time but both show up as soon as I restart.

    They come down even with updates paused.

    When you restore the backup is it showing the correct security version?

    Use the PowerShell command Get-AppPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI to see what is installed.

    If it is not already screwed up, you need to find a way for blocking W.U. from reinstalling those kb5007651.

    I saw you had 2 in there 2301.7001 and 2301.24001, is either one of those already in your backup?

    If neither of those are present you should be fine.

    They may come down again when you resume the updates.

    Unfortunately, we don't know yet how W.U. is deciding to download those 2 updates. 🤷‍♂️

    I'm trying to compare the hidden features of the 2 machines that behave differently, but I don't know if I find out anything. 😎

    Yes, it is showing the correct one but then all of a sudden I get 1000.25285.0.1000

    I've tried that from your previous instructions from last year but it didn't work.

    IDK how to block it, I've been searching without success.

    Neither are present in the backup, only the 3 files from 10/12/22

    Thanks! LMK if you find something, otherwise I'm gonna have to scrap that backup and start fresh when they decide to fix the resolution bug. 😒
