There is no malware, I scanned through Windows Security.
Smart control is ON, previously it was set to evaluation, but I changed it to ON three days ago I guess that is creating problem today after the update.

My name is Ravi, an independent advisor and expert user. I am happy to help you. :)
I understand how concerning it can be to see such a notification. Let's fix it together.
Could you please check the Smart App Control setting?
1). Tap the Start button in Windows.
2). Type Smart App Control in the search box.
3). Select the Smart App Control system settings from the results.
4). Check if the Evaluation mode is on or off.
In the meantime, please do scan for malware.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Ravi
