Key notes
Plenty of Windows Security users describe the following scenario: the Windows Security taskbar icon constantly shows a warning sign.
That sounds like a serious issue, especially with Windows Security actively protecting your device from the moment you start Windows 10, scanning for malware and identifying threats.
At a closer look, however, the app reveals no actual issues. Moreover, the notification has a rather strange behavior. Here’s what one concerned userasks:
Does double clicking the notification not work either?
How can I disable the Windows Security warning sign?
Windows 10is meant to provide comprehensive, built-in protection, so users are worried. Some of them describe that the issue started after a fresh install, while others made nothing different at all.
This is frustrating since most of them naturally click anything with a notification/badge. If that’s your case as well, simply refer to the above steps to correct the issue right away.
Moreover, this could also be related to the Unknown origin filter that lets you know that you didn’t manually acknowledge some files a while ago.
Therefore, in the future, make sure to double-check your downloads. Getting a file without digital signature may have such repercussions at a later point.
