Security & Privacy app claims it's not activated

Galaxy S10e that I just got a few weeks ago. The notifications keeps throwing an alert that "You haven't activated your Security & Privacy." Tap that and the S&P app opens, with its own internal notification list, saying "You haven't activated your Security & Privacy. Activate it now to protect your device and its data." Tap on that and nothing happens.

As far as I can tell, the S&P is on. The main screen of the app says "Your device is secure." The Privacy, Web security, and Wi-Fi security sub screens all say "ON".

What does it want from me?

S&P version is 5.0.58

What the...? The guy who originally posts the question doesn't get a reply from customer support, but the guy who replies two months later to say "I've having that problem too" does? Alright, well, happy just to finally have somebody paying attenti-

I'm under the impression that you didn't even look at the link GinaU gave.

I'm under the impression that you haven't at all read my original post at the top of the page.

RayKremer Have you already tried to uninstall and reinstall the app? This would be the first step to help correct this issue. DoloresK_VZW

Hi DoloresK,

It's an app that came pre-loaded on the phone. There is no option to uninstall it.
