    Hi Paul,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    That notification can be just a bug, it is reported by many people, other causes are, a security update is pending download on the Windows updates page, or Memory Integrity is not enabled in Defender.

    Hi Dave,

    1. I just checked and there is not a security update is pending download on the Windows updates page
    2. Can you tell me how to check if Memory Integrity is enabled in Defender.

    I did find that under WINDOWS SECURITY > DEVICE SECURITY, that MEMORY INTEGRITY is turned on. If that is what you meant

    thanks

    Having the same issue. It's totally maddening. No security updates pending. Everything enabled in the windows security app. Have tried the command Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage without improvement. Tried everything recommended here and here as well.

    Hoping this can get resolved!

    For what it's worth, in my case this seemed to occur after resetting my device from the Insider route. I had been on Windows 11 insider beta track but went back to the stable release due to some bugs.
