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.
I did what you suggested us to do but there's no RunAsPPL value
Does Microsoft aware of it? why don't they push update to fix this!
I refuse to mess about with registry settings as all of microsofts warning tell us not to change anything in the registry (as it will effect the warranty) i paid 1500 euros for my laptop and now it's under threat of ransomware and spyware, because of this security issue. I shouldn't have to change the registry and it's down to microsoft to fix it. If it's as easy as you say, then they could do this in a matter of seconds.
If i get infected with ransomware, i will sue them, simple as that.
They are not from Microsoft. They are volunteers and independent moderators. Nothing to do with Microsoft at all.
