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.

"it seems like they are sending hidden commands to enable features without our consent."
Not just seems, it is a sure fact. 🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️
In your case check the security dashboard and see what is missing. 😎
I meant to say enable/change settings without our consent.
I guess I'm not missing anything or do I?
The search options feature was already enabled and my choice was to hide search.
They should respect users choices.

They don't, I find my settings changed quite often.

Looks fine, I think 2209 platform update was still compatible with 22621 and 22623 builds.
MS still needs to explain why only some machines receive KB5007651 updates. 😎
I have now 4 machines at Dev build 25295, but 2 of those never received any kb5007651.
Why the different treatment?
