Windows 10: Windows Security - Actions needed only in system tray.

Hello,Windows Defender has been reporting a problem for several days, but only in the system tray. When I click on it, nothing shows up. I tried turning real time protection off and on again. I did a manual update and a full scan didn't find any threats. I've also done a windows update and restarted and it still doesn't affect it. I haven't encountered this problem yet. How do I fix this please?Thank you
