About this tag
The green checkmark in Windows 11 exploit protection settings is a visual indicator that a security feature is enabled. Users have reported that after installing a Windows security update, the green checkmark may disappear from certain protection settings, such as Reputation-based protection, even when the feature remains active. This can cause confusion, as the missing checkmark might suggest a security setting has been disabled. Discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on troubleshooting this issue, confirming whether the checkmark's absence is a cosmetic change or an actual security concern, and providing guidance for users who notice the green checkmark missing after updates.
