The Windows Security alert icon in the bottom right corner. Saying that I dont have anti virus and that windows defender is turned off. I have anti virus software installed and windows defender is turned on and working fine. So why do I have that Icon in the bottom right of my screen.

Hi Bigfoot1981. Try this. Go to Start Search and type
cmd
Cmd.exe will appear at the top of the Menu. Rightclick on it and choose "Run as Administrator.
Type or copy and paste the below command after the prompt and hit enter.
winmgmt /verifyrepository
If your system returns a "WMI repository is not consistent" message, copy and paste the below command and hit Enter.
winmgmt /salvagerepository
You may have to run this command two or three times before it will succeed. Reboot afterwards and let us know if this helped.

Ok. Have you rebooted since doing this? If not do so and let me know if this made any difference.

Ok, try this. Open an elevated command prompt again (rightclick on it and choose "Run as administrator") and copy and paste the below commands after the prompt and hit enter after each line.
net stop winmgmt
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
ren repository repository.old
net start winmgmt
It may take a minute or so to complete while the database is rebuilt. Once the commands have run, reboot and let us know if this helped.
