There are only green checkmarks in the windows security app but it still shows yellow in the taskbar. I already tried looking through this thread but didn't find anything that helped.

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    I understand the issue you have, nothing to worry I am here to help, I know some of these steps are already done, you have just skipped it if you think it will have the same result.

    Method 1. Repair Windows apps and Windows defender:

    On Powershell(admin), copy and paste the command below and hit enter:

    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    restart the PC and check

    Method 2. Reinstall Windows Defender

    Open registry, then go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender

    Then delete the Windows Defender folder, then restart the PC and check it again.

    If none will work from the above solution, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade wherein it will upgrade the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

    Kindly follow the steps from this link:

    Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.
