Hello ,
No need to take the computer back to the store, this problem with Windows Defender is known, a fix should fix the problem definitively, my advice is to be patient, to regularly monitor the pc for updates.
Best regards

This is a new laptop. For several days the Windows Security notification says "Actions recommended." When clicked, Defender reads Quick Scan Due. The dots move left to right but the scan doesn't happen--even after many hours and numerous restarts.
This pc is running Windows in S Mode. There is no option to manually run a scan.
