FIX Windows 11 Local Security Authority protection is OFF and restart message

Do you keep getting the message "Local security is turned off. Your device may be vulnerable" every time you boot to the Windows 11 desktop? This troubleshooting guide explains why that's happening and what you can do to get rid of it.

The Local Security Authority (LSA) is the system component that enforces security policies in Windows 11. It authenticates users during the login process, creates access tokens, and manages password policies. The underlying process is LSASS.exe.

To strengthen security, Windows 11 offers a feature called Local Security Authority protection. It runs the LSASS process in protected mode, which blocks unsigned drivers and plugins and prevents potential attacks from malicious code.
