Windows 10: Windows Security says Action Needed when no action is needed

I have ESET Smart Security Premium installed on my Windows 11 PC. The Windows Security icon has a white X on a red circle on it.

The recommendations there were to open the Services folder. find the following services and then try shutting down and restarting these services to see if that resolves the issue:Microsoft Defender Antivirus Network Inspection ServiceMicrosoft Defender Antivirus ServiceWindows Defender Fir

Disable Action Center in Windows 7?

Unfortunately that doesn't disable Action Center, all it does it cause Acution Center to bitch about the Security Center service not running.

Action Center seems to be a different beast from Security Center...

Disable Action Center in Windows 7?

thats why you uncheck all of the boxes all i think action center is is a warning about various other aspects of the pc. so just uncheck everything and it wont complain about jack or show the icon its worked on countless 7 formats with me. though i do agree security center is diffirent i wasnt entirely implying that it was the same more like security center in itself is also an unneeded program

granted but unchecking what it monitors surely is a way to lighten the load? id imagine anyway seeing as your telling it not to actuively check those programs

Windows anti-virus saying actions recommended. But I don't know what it's talking about as security at a glance says everything is OK.
