    So I did a fresh install of the latest Insider Preview build, but it seems that defender has a couple of issues?

    Anyone has any idea what it might be the cause?

  2. Windows Defender Actions Recommended

    I'm wrong, the green tick lasted for the rest of the day until l shut down. This morning it's back and I'm back to the drawing board trying to eradicate the spurious yellow triangle .

  3. Windows Defender Actions Recommended

    Didn't stick.

    Back to yellow needing action.

    Furthermore, the Windows Defender Firewall settings will not stay ON. Both Public (non-discoverable) and Private (discoverable) have reverted to Off, as shown in the screen shots above. Currently, if I turn them on, exit the settings, and open settings again,
    they will both be off. Perhaps this is what "needs actions" but there's no way to know.

    This is troubling.

    Have you check in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Security and Maintenance to see if a driver is pending install or something?
    Also while there, click start maintenance and let it run through, then restart.
    I had this happen with a clean install too, and it was just running maintenance that go rid of the yellow bang on the Defender icon.

  5. Thanks for the fast response.

    It seems everything is fine here. Started maintenance and let's see how it's going.

  6. Maintenance didn't solve anything, sadly.

    Aww, oh well*Sad
    That fixed my bang.
    Unless it was just timing, and it sorted itself out on it's own, when I ran maintenance, and not because of it.
