Windows 10: PC notification Microsoft Antivirus Protection is off but it’s on when I check? Please help

Hello i run Windows 10 sometimes when im on it ill randomly get a notification on the right side of my screen “Check Virus Protection - Microsoft Defender Antivirus is turned off. Tap or click to see installed antivirus”



Whenever i tap and check it in Windows Defender it always shows that my Virus and Threat Protection is on and the green checkmark “No action is needed”. I click Virus and Threat Protection then click manage providers and it says Microsoft Defender Antivirus is turned on. Everytime. Why do i keep getting this notification? Is it on or off? I ran sfc /scannow but it didnt fix it. Is this some kind of bug?



Scans all show no malware or threats



Thanks

:)

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

 

Reset Protection Notification

Hi Team,

I reset my Microsoft Lumia 650 device ( Hard Reset ), and trying to configure freshly.

After the WiFi Configuration is done, the system is prompting with "Reset Protection Notification" and I am not able to proceed further.

Contacted B2X Team, Microsoft Support Team and found no resolution.

What I did:

• Hard Reset my Mobile Device (It went Successfully)
• Microsoft (Initial) screen displays and started new configuration
• Selected the Country and the Time Zone
• Configured the WiFi Connectivity (Successful)
• Reset Protection Notification.

Here in this step, I tried to log in with my Microsoft Account, unable to do so on Mobile, but able to log in successfully on my Laptop

Request any one of you, please suggest to overcome this issue.

Regards,

Sridhar.J

Nonstop alerts about virus protection

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand your concern about accessing the operating system with the security notification on your device. We will help you with this issue.

Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

• Have you installed any third-party anti-virus software on your device?
• Have you made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue?
• What is the complete error code/ error message of this issue?
• When exactly you get this error pop-up?

Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: If you have installed any third-party anti-virus software, I suggest you to disable it and check if it issue persists.

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software,
you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

If the issue still persists, I suggest you to uninstall the third-party anti-virus software.

Step 2: I suggest you to run Windows Defender on your device and check if it helps.

Windows Defender is malware protection that is included with and built into Windows 10. This software helps identify and remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. So, you do not need to install any third party antivirus applications.
