Microsoft has confirmed earlier today that it has fixed a major issue with Windows Defender wherein it would incorrectly display "Local Security Authority protection is off" even when the feature was toggled on and the device was consequently restarted to complete the enabling process. The Local Security Authority, or LSA, authenticates, logs and maintains all information related to the local security of a system.
