Over the last few days I've noticed that when opening Windows Defender it shows a "status" unknown message for everything (Virus and Threat Protection, Account, Firewall, etc.). I can't even run a quick scan. If I close the dialog, and wait a few seconds or a minute, and open, everything is back the way it should be (green check boxes and usable). I looked online and followed the recommendations to reinstall via PowerShell, or simply do a reset from within Windows Apps.
Just in case, I ran online versions of ESET, Trend Micro, and downloaded Bitdefender Free. Likewise, I have Malwarebytes Free. No malware/virus issues found. I have the other AVs uninstalled...only Windows Defender now. Thoughts or is this just a bug with Defender?
