6021 Topics"Turn on Virus Protection" Notification appears after the latest update
So after the latest Windows 11 update I constantly get a single notification from Windows Defender claiming that it was turned off and suggesting to "Turn on Virus Protection". Fun fact is that Defender keeps working all the time and never turns off. Another fun fact is that the notification appears at the same exact time, 4m13sec after logging into account (judging by task manager uptime timer). I've heard a similar story from another user experiencing the same issue after latest update, but for him the notification appears at 4m23sec. I contacted support and they said that they might require multiple feedbacks on this issue from different users to confirm that it's a bug. While my PC was checked by Microsoft support team member and he confirmed that there's no issue with my system. Everything runs perfectly fine and working as it should. From the side it looks like it's some scheduled event bug, however upon checking task scheduler there was nothing to trigger this notification. As well as event manager shows no visible signs of critical errors on that matter (or at least I don't see any). It's extremely concerning to me, cause it's the first issue related to Windows Security which happened to me since my first day of using Windows 11. And there's no trace of it, so basically it's unable to identify the source of this bug. Reinstalling system helped for a while, but after several hours a few minor security updates were installed, and the notification came back. Like i said, it appears only once after each account log in. If my PC goes to sleep, I can wake it up as many times as I want and it won't show it ever again. Can anyone confirm the same weird behavior after the latest updates? If so, is anyone willing to send a feedback?20Views1like0CommentsHow can I make an old Windows PC run faster?
I have an old Windows PC that has become slow and unresponsive over time, and I want to improve its performance. What are effective ways to make my older Windows computer run faster without replacing hardware, such as optimizing settings, cleaning up files, or using specific tools or adjustments?13Views0likes0CommentsCould a computer explain why it crashed?
I recently experienced a sudden system crash on my Windows 11 computer, and I am wondering whether the machine itself can generate a meaningful explanation for why it crashed, or if it simply logs raw error codes that require external interpretation. Specifically, I would like to know if there is a built-in diagnostic tool or log file that can translate crash data into plain language, such as identifying faulty drivers, overheating components, or memory issues, rather than just showing a blue screen with a generic stop code that leaves me guessing about the root cause.16Views0likes0CommentsMy printer work on my phone but not Windows PC
My printer works perfectly with my phone, allowing me to print documents and photos without any issues. However, when I try to connect and print from my Windows computer, it doesn't recognize the printer or send any print jobs. I need help troubleshooting why my printer functions on my phone but not on my Windows system, and I would appreciate step-by-step guidance to resolve this connectivity problem. so I'm hoping someone knows a free trick or tool that doesn't involve uploading my file to some random website or paying for expensive software.17Views0likes1CommentWill computers still need traditional operating systems in the future?
I am curious about the future of computing and want to discuss whether traditional operating systems will still be necessary for computers as technology advances. With the rise of cloud computing, web-based applications, and virtual environments, I wonder if physical operating systems will become obsolete or if they will continue to play a vital role in how we use computers in the future.13Views0likes0CommentsMy update is stuck at 99%. Should I wait another 10 years?
My Windows update has been stuck at 99% for a long time, and I am unsure whether I should continue waiting or try to take action. The progress bar doesn't move beyond 99%, and I am concerned that the update might be frozen, which could cause issues if I interrupt it. I want to know if it's safe to wait longer or if I should force restart or troubleshoot the update process to avoid potential problems.43Views0likes3CommentsHow can I update Windows 11 23H2 to 26H2 or 26H1 now?
I am currently running Windows 11 version 23H2 and would like to know if there is a reliable way to upgrade to either 26H1 or 26H2 right now, as I have not seen these versions appear in my Windows Update settings yet. I have already tried checking for updates manually and running the Windows Update Troubleshooter, but neither method has offered me the newer builds. So I am wondering if I need to use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant, download an ISO file directly from Microsoft, or perhaps enroll in the Windows Insider Program to update Windows 11 23H2 to 26H2.83Views0likes8CommentsThe Task View icon on the taskbar does not respond when clicked
When I click the Task View icon on the taskbar, there is no response, and I cannot open the virtual desktop overview. Pressing the Win + Tab shortcut opens Task View normally. After trying to restart File Explorer or restart the computer, clicking the icon still does not work.6Views0likes0Comments
