    Many people are finding it's because App and Browser Control is missing from the Security dashboard, and there's an action there that hasn't been taken.

    See the post near the bottom of page 3 by Tck Expat for the workaround.

    Thanks a lot for the solution!!!!

    Wonderful! Thanks for that pointer. It didn't work like a charm because "Reputation-based protection" was already turned on and so the "Windows Security -Actions Recommended" still remained.

    Therefore, I proceeded with a more complicated fix, although at first, I was a bit hesitant to carry through with it. After much consideration & thought (and great trepidation) I did it anyway, even if it meant ending up with a bricked computer.
