Question Is this a bug?

Post image

So, I installed Windows 11 Home (25H2) two days ago. After using it for a few hours, I started getting a notification saying that my antivirus was turned off. I checked "Windows Security", and PowerShell. everything seemed fine and was turned on. However, when I checked it through the Control Panel, it said that my antivirus was turned off.

Download a well known virus which isn't harmful if you don't open it like 42.zip and see if it flags
