How can I limit the number of Windows Defender notifications?

Windows Defender virus protection, integrated into Windows 10, alerts you to anomalies with on-screen notifications. However, the app will also alert you if nothing out of the ordinary has happened, just in case you’re happy to see a weekly summary. To stop these meaningless reports, you need to customize the settings.

Press Windows+I, select the Update and Security group, and click on the Windows Security category in the left-hand column. Under Virus and threat management, click Manage settings under Virus and threat management settings, then under Notifications, click Change notification settings, and select which notifications you would prefer to opt-out of.
