The bug has been around for quite a while and has affected Windows 10 and Windows 11 users, reporting that Windows Security Actions Recommended won’t go away. So, let’s find out all about the problem.

Here are a few reasons you usually get the error:

Missing updates: Users usually get the error when either the OS updates or the ones for Windows Security are missing. Misconfigured settings: If the Windows Security settings are misconfigured, or certain of these are not enabled, the Windows Security Actions recommended yellow triangle will appear. OneDrive not set up: For some, the error appeared when OneDrive was not set as the file recovery option in Windows Security.

Before we head to the slightly complex solutions, try these quick ones first:

Restart the computer. Check for any pending updates for Windows, install them, and then verify if the Windows Security Actions recommended not working issue goes away. Set up Windows Hello.

If none work, move to the fixes listed next.
