Device Security - Local Security Authority Protection is off. Your device may be vulnerable.

Question

I am using Windows 11 64bit and on windows security I can see that my Device Security is turned off and it says "Device Security - Local Security Authority Protection is off. Your device may be vulnerable". I get two choices which is "dismiss" and "Go to Settings". When I click dismiss the error just comes back when I restart my pc.

When I click go to settings, I get another error that says "page not available, The page you are trying to access has no supported features and is not available". I have no other anti-virus software and secure boot state is turned on.

What do I do? This is becoming quite worrisome and I would appreciate the aid.

I should also mention that when I go into Device Security. At the top it still says Local security authority protection is off. Your device may be vulnerable.

Security Processor has a green tick, So I assume its on.

Secure boot also has a green tick.

But at the bottom it says Standard hardware security not supported.

I am on a custom built PC if that helps.

Hi Ali,

My name is Cindy. I am sorry you are having this problem. I know it is really frustrating. I will do my best to help you with this problem.

Please note: This is a user-to-user community forum. We are users just like you who help others. We are not employees of Microsoft.

Because you are receiving the Standard Hardware Security not supported, there could be many settings that need to be changed.

These are the things your computer needs.

You will want to check to make sure the TPM 2.0 is turned on.

The secure boot is enabled.

UEFI Mat ( This is Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Memory Memory Attributes Table)

DEP (This is Data Execution Prevention)

The CPU needs to be enabled.

The UEFI and DEP should be supported since your computer is new.

Here is a link about how to reenable the secure boot from Microsoft.

Answer 3

All that is fine. I was able to enable core isolation which is something new to me in the windows security settings. I had to go into BIOS and enable AMD V, Which is what I did. But now the issue is that I have everything enabled even "Local security authority protection" but I still get that same error. Is it a bug? I would like this fixed if possible.

Please restart the computer and then give me the exact details of the error message you re receiving.
