Windows 10: greyed out Device Performance and Health option

Very good question San Martino!

Didn't like their solution(s). Donotspy 1.2 parameters were causing the health report issue. We re-enabled automatic update drivers, reboot, lost health report (greyed out) but it was reset to green few minutes after. Reset donotspy back to previous state. Defender still works fine here.

Brightness parameters are disable here. So, check for the battery or brightness parameters if you have a laptop or not?

 

it's working fine now just had to let the system be for a couple days so it would have something to work with is all*chuckle

DME

 

Thanks for the response. It is my laptop I am talking about. I already have power plans that adjust the brightness depending on whether I am on battery or plugged into AC. I know how to adjust the battery, power and brightness in settings. Where are the parameters that you reference? I would certainly like to disable them for brightness.

Where I have my brightness set should be of no concern to Windows Defender. I want to be able to tell it "Thanks for the advice, now f#ck off."

It is just a minor annoyance. I have to manually open up Defender to be sure the definations have been updated since the green checkmark no longer shows because Defender doen't like my brightness settings.

 

@San Martino
There is no relation between updates and health report. Always get new defenition manually. Power plans are set to high performance here, it is a desktop. The brightness adjustment is set to 100% and night light is off. You have a laptop and you may have to live with the health report.

Will see when my cousin will upgrade next week if he gets the message that indeed is a minor issue. I also have a health report concerning Edge. Some switches are disable because I'm not using it. Nothing I can do...

All the best,

 

Mine still won't show up, I have updated to CU 2 days ago *Sad

 

Thanks Mike! That's what I figured. Severeal users have asked the same question over on the official Microsoft® Answers forum. One guy is getting the alert because he has his PC set to never sleep. I haven't even checked Edge yet since the Creators Update. I assume once I open it and customize the settings I'll be getting an alert for it as well*Wink.

Thanks again!

 

Should I be worried if it stays greyed out? It's just a report and not something important, right? Everything else works fine.

 

Don't worry. Same happened to me, after initial upgrade I had a report, then after first reboot it was greyed out until the next day. It finally got around to doing a scan again, overnight I suppose (always on).

 

You are right, the green checkmark just showed up for me out of nowhere. I was just a little nervous because prior to the CU I had quite a few problems with Windows. I want everything to work correctly now *Smile

Although I wouldn't mind a button or something to do a manual scan...

 

I finally got the green checkmark on device performance and health. I got it right after a reboot from a blue screen for "a reach too far" overclock for not enough voltage.

I guess it just needed to be defibrillated.*Roflmao2*Roflmao2
