    WinDefender notification issue


    Hi,

    WinDefender notification does not work properly on a threat (test, eicar.com).
    Notification does not come up and of course, there isn't any sound!
    Although it shows it on Taskbar WinDefender notification issue-notif.png, when I click on white (action center) icon, there's nothing in there. As for settings:

    Is it only for me or should we wait for 1809...debugging?

    THX!

    UPDATE...Issue has been solved by creating a new user account.
    A corrupted user profile came with 1809 upgrade. As usually...

    Update 2....

    Actually, it was not a corrupted user profile issue. It was a "Background Apps" issue.

    Turning all Background Apps OFF (Settings > Privacy > Background apps), WinDefender notifications cannot work because "Windows Security" app is included in there.

    "Windows Security" cannot be considered as just a Background app, like "Tips", "Mail", "Weather" etc. and/or should not affect WinDefender inside settings.

    WinDefender settings should not be affected by other/elsewhere settings, except those of Group Policy.
