Defender for Endpoint issues on Apple Silicon Macs (Issue: Action Needed)
Hi y'all, We are using Defender for Endpoint on our Intel Macs without a hitch (both corp & BYOD devices). Now we are trying to have BYOD Apple Silicon Macs deployed with Defender for Endpoint. ...

Seems like the fix got released today, expect updates to roll out...
"Fixed a regression introduced in version 101.61.69 where the status menu icon was sometimes showing an error icon, even though no action was required from the end user"
Same here.
On Mac M1 since version 101.61.69 and maybe even 101.60.91, I see the defender icon with a X on it showing "Action needed" but everything seems to be running fine.
mdatp health in command line says healthy.
systemextensionsctl list shows activated and enabled.
Rebooting doesn't change anything, it starts up like this.
I'm using intune and this was not an issue a few versions ago. Unsure if it is caused by Monterey 12.3.1 update or a recent Defender update.
This is working well and without the X mark on Intel Macs.
- Same here. The total lack of response from Microsoft on this post is also a little bit weird....
