I had the yellow bam! on my Windows Security shield in the systray after the latest cumulative update, warning about Local Security Authority (LSA) Protection being off like so many others.
I never did anything to resolve that - the registry fix posted by Brink below - because I'm working on another problem and I don't like to add more variables to the mix, so I was waiting.


Yesterday the bam! disappeared on it's own. Local Security Authority (LSA) Protection is still OFF, but I no longer get any warning on that - in the Systray or in the Core Isolation settings.
Normal behavior?

I did do the reg edit, because after manually sliding the slider to ON, a 'Restart Needed' did not disappear after several restarts.

Things look good now, see pic below, but after reading a couple of cases, I have the feeling that I should not have done the reg edit. But now that I have done the reg edit I have the feeling that I should not be doing anything further either.

All in all, I suggest to leave things alone for a couple of WUs.

I turned the slider on and did the registry change. I'm still getting the security warning after several reboots.

Hello, and welcome. :-)

Hi Brink. Thanks - that has fixed the warning. I'm not sure what else it's done to my machine, if anything, but I'm happy to fix that annoying little Windows security issue.

Having just joined, I'll post a proper introduction somewhere appropriate and upload a suitable avatar.

Thanks again. Much appreciated. :-)

That's great news, and you're most welcome. That option used a policy to force it with tamper protection.

I'm liking that advice!

I was sitting on the fence since I had the issue for some time, but I installed the latest update, did the registry hack afterwards and everything looks good now. OCDC urges all satisfied! :D
