    Windows Security in system tray has warning


    Just started my pc and the Windows security icon in the system tray has the yellow triangle of warning. restarted and it was still there. It just says "action recommended". In Windows security, the device security has a warning sign that says "Local Security Authority protection is off. Your device may be vulnerable.".When I click to go to settings I can see no issues. as below. Is there anything i need to do somewhere? Any advice welcome?

    :)

    Lost clock and calendar from system tray after update on September 25, 2016

    Hi,

    There are several reasons why this issue happens. To help you resolve this concern, we suggest that you adjust the height of the system tray. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the system tray.
    • Make sure that the Lock all taskbars
      option is unchecked.
    • Try positioning your cursor at the top edge of the system tray until you see a vertical line with arrows at both tips.
    • Hold the left mouse button down and drag the edge of the system tray upward to expand it.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Windows Defender Icon not appearing on system tray

    I am a Windows 10 user. I uninstalled Norton AV after I received advise to do so from the Microsoft community experts. I did remove it and activated Windows Defender. But the windows defender
    icon is not visible in the system tray. I tried various means. I am not an IT expert. So didn't succeed. Can someone suggest me a method using which the system tray would show the windows defender icon?

    My concern is, Norton icon used to be seen and whenever there was an issue with system security, the icon would either turn red or appear with warning signs. That assisted me to work and resolve the issue.

    I would want the windows defender to help me identify and warn. Please help. Thanks.
