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.
From the people I have talked to including computer experts if you are running a third party antivirus such as norton you are fineFrom the people I have talked to including computer experts if you are running a 3rd party antivirus such as Norton you are fine and cand can simply. Dismiss the warning and go on about your business.
Hello,
Pour vérifier si la protection LSA est active , il faut aller ici ->
Microsoft still says that this has been fixed
They have marked it as "mitigated", by advising users to dismiss the warnings. If and when they finally fix it properly, the status should move to "resolved".
Yes but that being said, currently in the core isolation settings there is no slider switch button currently, to turn it off and on in the first place , hoping also that it doesn't allow viruses to slip through the net, and Malware also .
- Open Windows Registry Editor.
- Navigate to the following location: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
- Make sure you have RunAsPPL and RunAsPPLBoot. entries. If you don’t have RunAsPPLBoot listed, create DWORD entries for RunAsPPL and RunAsPPLBoot.
- Value for both entries should be 2.
- Reboot and warnings should stop.
If you prefer not to (or cannot) edit the Registry, this web page also has a simple Powershell script you can copy and paste in Powershell to make the settings:
Thank you so much! This worked! Great advice.
