Hello Shane,

Thank you for your message.

Judging by the screenshot, this appears to be an issue that previously occurred with Windows Defender. However, Microsoft has informed us that the issue has since been resolved.

Please make sure your Windows Defender is up to date to apply the fix. If the issue persists after updating, please let us know.
Support level: Free or trial
Will double check when I get home, but should be newest.
