Windows 10: Pop-up to turn Antivirus on, even though I check settings it's on?

So I randomly had a pop-up on my PC by Windows Defender to turn my antivirus on, yet I go into the settings and it's on. I don't know if this is McAfee, but it's also on too as I checked. Did it maybe mess up and say it wasn't on?
