Windows 10: Why is my Windows 11 Defender Security show Unknown on all protections

Good day,I noticed this today but not sure if it started today of earlier. My Windows Defender Security icon in the Task Bar had a yellow caution indicator and when I opened it all protection was marked as Unknown. I performed a Check for Protection Updates and the system apparently downloaded an update after which all protection was marked as No Action Needed.

Windows defender real time protection cant be turned on.

Go to Security and Maintenance, look in 'Security' and see what program is listed under Virus Protection. Windows Defender will not be enabled and functioning properly if there is a program other than Windows Defender listed.

You tried all suggestions in my previous post and Windows Defender “real time protection”
still will not turn on?

Did you try everything suggested in Problems
starting Windows Defender in Windows 8/8.1/10 to include (but not limited to) running SFC, scanning for malware and running the software removal tools for any security software (AVG,
McAfee, Norton, whatever) that may have previously been on the computer followed by a reboot? List of
anti-malware product removal tools
