Hi @anoojrana2136,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If you're receiving a "Windows Security not secure" message on your HP laptop, it's essential to address it promptly to ensure the security of your system. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue.
- Update Windows: Ensure that your Windows operating system is up-to-date. Microsoft regularly releases security updates to patch vulnerabilities. You can check for updates by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
- Run a Full Antivirus Scan: Use your installed antivirus software to perform a full system scan. This can help detect and remove any malware or viruses that might be causing the security issue.
- Check Windows Security Settings: Verify that Windows Security settings are properly configured. Ensure that Windows Defender Firewall is turned on and that real-time protection is enabled in Windows Security settings.
- Check for Third-Party Security Software: If you're using third-party antivirus or security software, make sure it's up-to-date and running properly. Sometimes conflicts between different security programs can lead to security alerts.
- Update Drivers and Software: Ensure that all your device drivers and software are updated to the latest versions. Outdated software can sometimes be vulnerable to security threats.
- Scan for Malware with Windows Defender: In addition to using third-party antivirus software, you can also run a scan with Windows Defender, which is built into Windows. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection, then select "Scan options" and choose "Full scan."
- Check Network Security: Ensure that your network connection is secure. Avoid connecting to unsecured Wi-Fi networks, and consider using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) for added security, especially when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks.
- Check for Browser Security: Ensure that your web browser is up-to-date and configured securely. Enable browser security features such as pop-up blockers, phishing protection, and secure browsing settings.
- Review Recent Changes: Think about any recent changes or installations you've made on your system. Sometimes newly installed software or updates can cause security issues. If you suspect a particular program might be causing the problem, try uninstalling it temporarily to see if the issue resolves.
By following these steps, you should be able to address the "Windows Security not secure" message and ensure the security of your HP laptop.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
