A yellow triangle appeared on the Windows Security iron yesterday. It says that Local Security Authority protection is off. Your device may be vulnerable.
I can press Go to settings or Dismiss but when I click go to settings, a notification saying "the page You want to access doesn't contain required functions and is unavailable".
There is also no option to turn the protection on in the Device Security panel (there is only "dismiss" option).
When I was looking at it yesterday, there was also a notification that "The tpm module is unavailable" but today it doesn't show. I checked the device manager and uefi and both say that the tpm is enabled.
I've found an advice to turn on SMV in UEFI (in the CPU settings) to solve the problem but I don't want to change anything in BIOS without consultation as I'm no expert. I've also found a reply from a truste source that this whole problem is a Microsoft bug and it's better to just wait till they fix it.
What should I do?
Screenshots are in Polish, I hope they can be useful somehow. The first one shows the notification about a page being not available and the second shows the Device security panel (the notification from the first screenshot displays when I close the device security page or when I click on "go to settings" below the information that the protection is turned off). There is also an information (second screenshot) that "standard device security is not supported".
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Microsoft have just posted that they have resolved the "Local Security Authority protection is off" issue in an update. Has anyone tried to apply it from Windows Update?
Resolution: This issue was resolved in an update for Windows Security platform antimalware platform KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2306.10002). If you would like to install the update before it is installed automatically, you will need to check for updates.
This is the solution from Glen V. It worked for me. For those struggling, here are some tips:
I did not have RunAsPPLBoot, so I had to add it my self as a DWORD entry.
After that is done, double click and set the value to 2.
That worked for me.
For those who cannot find RunAsPPL and RunAsPPLBoot, you can click on the text that say Computer/...
and then paste this: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa then on the right, you will have RunAsPPL (only most likely).
ACTUAL FIX:
Simply the fix is to just add RunAsPPLBoot as a DWORD entry bc most people do not have that, including me before.
Any update? This did not seem to resolve the issue for me and I am still experiencing the warning sign everytime i turn my computer on.
This worked for me, thank you a ton!
Jesus Christ. After looking at all the various replies, NO THANKS. I won't be fiddling around with the registry and it may even disable TPM? Not sure what that does and I'm not willing to find out. I already have a separate antivirus and anti-malware program. I think I'm good thx.
