    what to do if my Windows Security Icon shows "Action recommended" and I am not able select...


    I have been using VPN and I did not noticed that there is a indication of "Action Recommended" in Windows Security Icon. I now tried to go in and update, but I am not able to select anything in Windows Security. How do I solve this problem? Any one can help?

  2. security icon, actions recommended

    since i 1st updated my new laptop 3 weeks ago i have seen a "!" on my security icon and it says actions recommended.

    when i open the security dashboard all icons virus protect, account, firewall/netwok, app browser control, device security and performance and health are all showing a green tick, all but family options so im assuming that is the issue.

    is there a way of removing the recommended action notification as i have started to ignore it which would be a shame for me to ignore a real security issue... i dont have a family so i cant change anything there

    Windows Defender shows actions recommended but no actions listed

    hi All,

    Windows Defender shows actions recommended but no actions listed when I click it, it shows a exclamation mark inside yellow triangle, but security dashboard is all green. Not sure why Windows defender keeps showing yellow exclamation when there is nothing
    to worry about regarding security.

    Any help to identify the issue appreciated, or if someone confirms it's a bug then happy to ignore it till its fixed.

    Windows 11 security actions recommended but none found

    on windows 11 the security icon in the task bar shows an exclamation in a yellow triangle and says "security actions recommended", but when I look at them all, they all say NO ACTION NEEDED
