Achanak se aapke Windows 11 taskbar par ek red alert notification pop-up hota hai: “Virus & threat protection is turned off. Tap or click to turn on Windows Defender.” Lekin jab aap click karte hain, to Windows Security panel open hota hai aur sab kuch normal ya blank dikhta hai. Kya aapka computer waqai kisi virus attack ke khatre mein hai?

Ghabrane ki bilkul zaroorat nahi hai. Microsoft ne officially confirm kiya hai ki yeh Windows 11 Security Health Service ka ek false positive UI display glitch hai.

Agar aapko shaq hai ki protection waqai on hai ya nahi, to aap Windows PowerShell se 2 seconds mein real status verify kar sakte hain:

1. Start Menu par right-click karein aur Terminal (Admin) ya PowerShell (Admin) open karein.
2. Yeh command paste karein aur Enter dabayein:
   Get-MpComputerStatus | Select-Object RealTimeProtectionEnabled, AntivirusEnabled
