Windows 10: Can't Turn Local Security Authority On

I just got the little yellow "Danger" triangle in my system tray over Windows Security - Action Recommended.Inside Windows Security, the Danger alert is on "Device security": Local security protection is off. Your device may be vulnerable.I don't know what that means, but it sounds bad.So I clicked "Go to settings", flicked it over to "On", and rebooted.Still have the Danger triangle, still tells me protection is off... but the switch shows that it's on.I am the sole user thus the Administrator on this PC.My Googling takes me to "edit group policy" which I don't seem to have?Screens: https:/

Local Security Authority Protection

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.

The security account manager (SAM) or local security authority (LSA) server was in the wrong state to perform the security operation.

Windows Security Bug - Local Security Authority Protection Not Registering a System Restart

After I uninstalled Avira Antimalware, I got an alert from Windows Security that my Local Security Authority Protection was turned off. But after I turned it on and restarted as instructed, I continue to get the same alert that my Local Security Authority Protection is turned off, even though within the same window, the toggle switch under the "Local Security Authority Protection" heading displays that it's already turned on.

Additionally, at the same time that this bug appeared, I've also started to get an old Windows bug where if I try to open File Explorer from the taskbar, the entire taskbar would crash and restart every time (though I can open File Explorer from the Start menu without issue).

Any help resolving either bug would be appreciated. Thanks.
