How do I stop Windows (11) Security from alerting me that Parental Control is not active?

Referred here by a moderator in the answers.microsoft.com forums because of the domain thing.

As in the title, I have Windows 11 Pro and the "Windows Security" icon (blue shield) in the taskbar tray is showing a yellow triangle. Digging into that shows that the only thing that bothers it is the Parental Control options.

I don't want parental control options activated because, well, because I'm 56 and I live alone since my wife passed away, and we never had children. How do I make the blue shield ignore the fact that I haven't activated any parental controls, and stop putting up the yellow triangle unless something that's actually a problem happens. (The same question in "Family Safety" has had three views and no answers apart from me adding an extra piece of information.)

So, the extra piece of information: The PC is part of an Active Directory domain (NOT Azure!) and I am logged in as a domain user that has local admin rights on the PC.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

There's a screenshot of the Windows Security panel in the attachment.

    Have you turned off parental control?
    Look for the Notifications section, and click or tap "Manage notifications."You can now see all the settings related to Windows Security notifications. Turn off from there.
