You may want to disable defender if you already have a reputable anti virus program.

1. Open regedit: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SecurityHealthService

2. Set the start type to 3.

3. Go to Task Manager, Startup, right click on Windows Defender Notification icon, click Disable. Reboot. Problem solved.

Actual disable step here.
