The Local Security Authority Protection is a crucial feature of Windows 11 that runs the LSASS in protection mode, restricting unsigned drivers and plugins from loading and preventing potential attacks from malicious codes.
If you're here, you must be wondering why you're receiving constant “local security authority protection is off” and “your device may be vulnerable” notifications. In this article, we will take you through a brief guide to the Windows 11 Version 22H2 issue, discussing the ways to fix the issue.
How can you fix the “Local Security Authority Protection is Off” notification error?
Here are a few ways to fix the “Local Security Authority Protection is Off” notification error:
Check the Event Viewer & Dismiss the Error
The “Local Security Authority Protection is Off” error usually appears when the feature is enabled on your system. You can check if the Local Security Authority Protection is active via Event Viewer. If you receive a warning, you can dismiss it if you've already restarted your PC after receiving it
Update the System

Modify the System Registry
