Windows 10: Down Arrow UI of Windows Defender Security Center

Dear Team,


I was checking the security settings in "Windows Defender Security Center". When looking into "Device performance & health" screen the there is this "Down Arrow" showing in the "Health Report". I assumed that there is some information triggered in each entity mentioned in "Health Report", but when I clicked on this "Down Arrow" symbol its showed nothing but the same comment which were showing before the clicked i.e. "No Issues".

Its not any problem here as it is not harming anything. Just want to know can we remove this "Down Arrow" symbol if there is not any more information given other than "No Issues" comment.


Thanks!!

:)

 

windows defender & security center services keep turning off


Are you running any other AV or did you have one running in the past? If you didn't use an uninstaller for the AV, then the remnants of it could be causing the problem. Normally any time you install an AV it disables Defender by default.

If you are getting any error codes please list those, that will be helpful in helping you.

As torre suggested, might be a good idea to do a reset or even a reinstall.

windows defender security center dosn't start correctly

The security center is not part of Defender doing its job. It is just a User Interface to allow you to control it called MSASCuiL.exe. The real work is done by MsMpEng.exe which you never see (except listed in Task Manager). Your contrast setting should have no effect on it.

There's also the old style UI from before Creators Update, it's still available in Fall Creators Update, but hidden away. That one still works in high contrast (I've just tested it).

Though that too has a bug in Fall Creators Update (but one with a workaround) awaiting a fix in a cumulative update.

Windows defender security center problem

When I try to start the windows defender security center the antimalware service executable starts up and uses up to 98% CPU. I have tried to change proxy restart defender and many suggested steps and also went to windows deffender online to do a scan
that way but no malware came up. The problem still persists. Does anyone know what to do in this situation? I just want my security to run properly but I cant even get to the menus.
