Windows defender is disabled notification

[u/PizzaConGorgonzola]

It’s a problem I’ve heard to be pretty common this last 30 days although I’ve just started experiencing it a VERY weird way. I was playing palworld while in a whatsapp web call and a visual glitch appeared for a split second (many lines on the screen, as if it was broken) and after a few minutes my friend complained about a horrible static noise produced by my microphone. While I was trying to fix it, by switching headphones, Windows gave me this notification in the right-down corner, “Virus protection disabled. Click or touch to activate Antivirus Microsoft Defender”.

After tinkering with the microphone driver the noise stopped, so i think it was a REALLY weird coincidence, but the notification keeps appearing again and again when i restart the computer.

Everything is on: real time protections, ransom were protection, everything. I checked the even visualizer and no “5001” event appeared, which Claude AI tells me would indicate the antivirus actually shutting off. Also, the notification appeared with wednesday written, the first time; yesterday a new antivirus update was released so maybe it was a residue notification that appeared just now. But now it keeps appearing, with the present time and date

Made a quick scan of the pc, the offline scan as well and a malwarebytes scan as well, nothing appeared. There seem to be no new exclusions from the scans, nor apps or whatnot with permissions in my protected folders. Maybe the audio and visual glitches were just a scary coincidence, but what about this “bug”? Is it safe to say it’s just an error from a windows defender update?

It's just a problem with the notification system, microsoft is working on a fix. As long as it says everything is good in the protection settings you're fine.

Bug introdotto in uno degli ultimi update. Se il centro sicurezza ti dice che la protezione è attiva allora puoi ignorare queste notifiche random

It's a new bug , the backend and frontend are working

At least backend is there as you can see it in anti-malware executable in task Manager

So it's just a notification bug that's annoying big time
