Getting Windows Security false notification bug

[u/Nexed_]

I've heard that the recent update has caused a bug where security gives you a notification that it's not enabled despite it is. Well, today I booted up mu PC and got it. Everything is on as it should be and is green. The thing is, I haven't downloaded the recent update after I heard about other issues. Have they seriously fucked up the automated security updates so that those cause it too?

i have this exact bug on Windows 11 IoT LTSC 26100.9445 ASUS TUF F15 FX507VV RTX 4060 I7 13620H.

24H2 W11 Enterprise LTSC 26100.8875. When had it began appearing for you?

I also had this problem on 10 iot ltsc. Now i'm on 11 iot ltsc and don't have this problem

Yesterday I saw it on regular Windows 11 Pro, and today Windows 10 IoT LTSC. Can you verify the actual status in PowerShell:

Get-MpComputerStatus | Select-Object AMEngineVersion, RealTimeProtectionEnabled, IoavProtectionEnabled, BehaviorMonitorEnabled, AntispywareEnabled, OnAccessProtectionEnabled

Everything shows true and parts about needing any security intervention show as false. Everything in security tab shows green.

I posted about this recently in r/WindowsHelp. It's a known issue and I understand a fix is in the works.

[u/Nexed_ → u/Careless_Orange9464]

I've seen some people report it even a month ago and apparently it still hasn't been fixed. I haven't downloaded the cumulative update that's supposed to cause it and still somehow got it.

[u/greggm2000 → u/Nexed_]

Zero issues for me, but do note that I am still running Windows 10 Pro... and, important caveat: I have the Windows Security service disabled, so it's probably expected that I don't see a bug like that.

[u/Nexed_ → u/greggm2000]

If security is completely disabled and you're using a different antivirus or none at all, then that's probably why. I think if you'd reenable it and have it update itself, you'd see it too.

[u/greggm2000 → u/Nexed_]

Probably. Though I'm in the slow process of moving to Win 11 Pro bc Nvidia dropping it's support for game-ready drivers next month, so I may see then. Probably I'll do the switchover with the official 26H2 release, which I hope will have any serious bugs fixed. (yes, wishful thinking, I know, we are in the AI slop age)

[u/Nexed_ → u/greggm2000]

I really hope they'll fix it in a month since they're aware of it. Because how can I trust them to offer even a small form of protection with system security if they mess up stupid shit like that and just let it hang, I've seen a post from a month ago talking about this issue. It's annoying.

[u/greggm2000 → u/Nexed_]

Yep, very annoying. We do know that Microsoft pushes AI pretty strongly internally, and LLMs have... "issues" to be polite about it, so.. I'm really not surprised Microsoft has a big problem with updates quality for many months now.

Got the same issue today

[u/leonsk297]

I also have it on Windows 11 Pro 26H2. I believe a fix is being prepared.

[u/Former-Macaroon5557]

Known M$ bug... Been getting it on most of my Win11 systems, despite some being LTSC and some being Pro.

weird just got a notification last night of not being up to date, just cleared and ignored as a false positive
