After installing WUS February updates
> 2023-02 .Net 6.0.14 Security Update KB5023288, and
> 2023-02 Cum Update for Windows KB5022845
I noticed "Windows security - Actions recommended" in the system tray.

In Windows Security > Device security:
> Memory integrity was Off. I toggled it to On.
> Local Security Authority protection (LSAp) was Off. I toggled it to On.

I believe (?) both these settings were On prior to applying February updates.

Core isolation details are also being displayed cramped into a black box (see pic).

After rebooting (per instructions) the toggle for LSAp now shows it's switched On, but there's still a warning saying it's off (see pic), and the system tray icon continues to show Actions recommended.

I researched a bit, and see on reddit ( Link ) others are having the same issue. They say something about a missing Registry entry, and creating a new DWORD32, but I didn't want to blindly mess with the Registry. Likewise, I have a restore point, but am not sure that's the best course, as I don't know if LSAp is truly Off, or On, and Windows is just displaying an erroneous message.

For now, I've elected not to do anything (except post here) and hope Microsoft applies a fix.

Has anyone here encountered this? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
