There is a "Windows Defender needs to scan your computer" message that always show in Action Center, even right after I press the "Scan Now" button and I let the Windows Defender do its job.
I think this is not the normal behavior of this alert, but I can't make it disappear. Any help will be appreciated!!

Sorry for the delay. I didn't receive the corresponding alert on your response.

Still no luck!
By the way, I haven't received any alerts about your answers. I think there's something wrong with the alert system.
Anyway, I'll keep this weird message in the Action Center because it's harmless.
