I have the security Action badge indicating to me that Windows security Action is required.
I open up by clicking the badge and see the notice that the Local Security Authority Protection is required to be turned on and restart the computer to which I perform those two actions.
After my computer is reloaded the Security Badge still requires me to turn Local Security Authority Protection on, as I have already done.

Sir in the first place neither am I stupid or do I get involved with scam calls.
Now perhaps if Microsoft had this badge issue settled a long time ago then there wouldn't be so many frustrated people as in the way and time it takes to patch a previous update.
Good night

Why would you think that? Some facts might work for me as to why you feel a scammer may have entered into my computer.
If that were the case then that does not say very much for Microsoft's security system.

My phone screens calls like that out typically and if I see an unfamiliar number and do answer I don't say anything at all. If it's a machine it usually will just drop the line after a while.
That type of call you describe however sounds like a phishing attempt and is a scam.
I doubt it has anything to do with this issue and is most likely just a coincidence that it happened around the same time. As always, caution is warranted.
