    I did have that inkling, as the greyed out [Switch] showed it was [On], but the warning claimed it was [Off]
    Thanks CarolTarnowsky for helping to clear this up

    I held an online chat with a Microsoft tech and let them take control of my computer. It turned to be a bug with Microsoft and nothing to do with my computer. Contact Microsoft and they will help you.

    Hi, my name is Anderson Souza, I hope I can help you with your issue.

    Please, first check if your system already has all the latest updates installed, go to Start menu > Settings > Windows Update, check and apply all updates.

    After installing the pending updates and restarting the computer, go back to the same Windows Update screen, click Advanced Options > Optional Updates, apply the optional updates, and restart the PC.

    Also, ensure your apps are up to date. Check the proper procedures at the link below:

    Check if the problem persists.

    I have the same problem, your comment is not a solution at all, please someone that read the question first try to help us.
