Is this a recent change, or has my Defender developed a glitch? I have
checked for malware and see no evidence of any.

Any ideas?

Hi Duc,

It may have a Quarantined item that it wants you to look at. Open Windows Defender, Click Tools, Click Quarantined items. Apply the actions you want to anything listed.

Hope this helps,
