Is there a way to stop the security warning about my device from popping up?

You could also try adjusting the notification settings directly in Windows Security to see if you can turn off just that specific alert.

Another option is to check if there's a group policy setting for it, but that's usually for business versions of Windows. Let me know if that works.

Agreed. You could also try adjusting the notification settings in the Security and Maintenance section of the Control Panel.

Another option is to check if there's a "Don't show this message again" checkbox on the warning itself when it pops up.

Agreed. You could also try going into Windows Security settings and turning off notifications for account protection or security alerts.

+1 You could also check the notification settings in the Action Center to see if you can turn off alerts just from Windows Security. Good luck!

Can confirm. Another option is to run the Windows Security troubleshooter, which might automatically fix whatever is triggering the alert.

Same here. Yeah, that troubleshooter is a good call. Also, double-check that your antivirus definitions are up to date, as that can sometimes cause false alarms.

This. You could also try turning off notifications for your security software directly in Windows settings under Notifications & actions.
