Hello, I'm using Windows 11 for less than a month. I just installed it on November 27th. Everything seemed normal at first, but after a week or ten days, notifications appeared during startup about 8 out of 10 times. The message reads: "Windows Security. Periodic Scanning of Microsoft Defender is Enabled." It also mentions another antivirus, which matches what I have—Bitdefender Total Security. Since the problem began around ten days in, I think it might be related to an update that caused issues. I'm running version 22H2 (22621.963). The most bothersome part is that it slows down the PC after startup. It takes about 8-10 seconds for the notification to appear before I can use the system normally. I've tried uninstalling all Windows updates, but the issue persists even though I installed Windows 11 initially without problems. Disabling Periodic Scanning helped only temporarily. Changing Group Policy settings to turn it off didn't work. Hiding notifications doesn't fix the speed problem. The attached image shows the notification. Unfortunately, the text is in Italian.
