Windows 10: Windows Defender Warning about OneDrive does not Dismiss

it is some days that Windows Defender under Virus & threat protection gives warnings (yellow exclamation mark) about OneDrive: "setup OneDrive for file recovery options in case of ransomware attack". But I already have OneDrive on my system and logged in with the same account as my windows is logged in. the annoying part is that this message does not get dismissed. pushing the dismiss button does not have any effect and the warning is still there.

I know it is not a big issue but seeing a warning on defender gives a bad feeling.

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

[/quote] Click to expand... Sorry, but I think you're confused and keep referring to Onedrive. There is a big difference between the consumer version of Onedrive business O365 version. I do not have the consumer version of Onedrive installed... it is Onedrive for Business. Also, this script is for "Onedrive" .... not Onedrive for Business. Thanks anyway.

OneDrive (for Business) built-in Windows 10 differences?

No thanks for providing a non-rant version. I ought to recruit about 20 million people and walk down to Microsoft headquarters and do them in. Tired of Microsoft forcing their childish development skills on the masses.

 

New Windows Defender Security Centre. Option to Dismiss/Ignore notifications?

I have the same issue. I have a Bluetooth adaptor built into a permanently attached VR headset, I have purposely disabled the adaptor in control panel.

Windows defender shows a device driver warning on the Defender Notification Icon and under 'Device performance and Health' in the Defender Security Centre in reference to the disabled hardware.

I want to dismiss this notification so it no longer is reported as a problem.

The Windows Defender notification Icon also displays a permanent yellow triangle warning badge to reference the assumed hardware issue.

I am now ignoring the notification icon and so will potentially miss any new, real threats/problems.

If this issue can not be resolved I will have to disable Windows Defender completely as the continuous Warning Badge is mentally nagging me and encouraging me to be complacent about any Windows Defender warnings.

All security/performance software I have previously used has the option to ignore/dismiss or mark as safe any potential threats/issues as they understand it may not actually be a problem for the user.

This is not an option in the Defender Control Centre I can only assume it is either due to poor programming; a failure to predict normal user behaviour or arrogance on the part of Microsoft for expecting customers to only work in line with their
expectations.
