Question Win11 security center complaining daily about non-MS-preferred settings?

[mikeymikec]

On Win10/11 and using Windows Defender, I'm used to the Security Center complaining approximately once a month about the fact that I switched off say automatic file submission (though AFAIK it will complain about almost any changed AV setting), but it now seems to be complaining about my settings every day. I'm on Win11 23H2 with the latest standard updates. Is anyone else here seeing similar behaviour?

Disable notifications.

It's not a notification as such, it's the Security Centre icon changing from a green OK symbol to showing a warning triangle.

Can't help there as I booted to Linux and deleted the folders as msft is useless and nags at everything.

Try opening security center. For each of the items in it, you can click, and you can change them to the recommended, or click dismiss.

This is from my vague memory, but open it and click around till you see the dismiss option.

Yes, then since some update it starts nagging again next time you reboot whereas before the update it would nag about once a month.

The one that sits in the bottom right near the clock?
Turn that off!

Uh-oh! You've obviously got OneDrive disabled, and you're not "Optimized" to browsing in Edge and search with Bing! Headquarters has been notified...

I don't think it's actually been complaining about OneDrive each day like it has about auto file submission, which is interesting that MS evidently thinks there's a distinction there.
