    Windows defender shows actions recommended, but when I go into the detail, it is green across the board. All the seven areas are green. Where is the issue. I can't find it.

    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 Defender, Actions recommended

    For two days now I've had the actions recommended on windows defender highlighted. Everything is green in the security details, and I am given no suggestions on what to do to get rid of it. What do I do?

    Windows Defender Actions Recommended

    No dice.

    Cumulative Update installed. (yellow actions recommended, even after a couple of reboots - shows as green initially)

    Ran the Full Offline Scan (no issues found, initially shows as green)

    One BIG clue to the bug is that Windows Defender stayed green until I did ANYTHING that went to the internet. Pop open a browser and it changes to the yellow yield sign within a few minutes. This does point to something networking. Don't know if it was opening
    the browser or coincidence. I suspect coincidence. (will need to test this with better steps)

    Found that the Windows Defender Firewall was turned off for both discoverable and non-discoverable networks. (screen shots below) No other settings showed anything but green, and even those (the outer links) showed green until I opened them individually.

    Turned them on even though both of those networks are shown as disconnected. A quick scan showed no threats and it DID INDEED go green.

    Will it stay green? I'll post back in a bit one way or the other.
