Going into the services.msc and stopping the MalwareBytes Anti-Exploit service, mbae-svc.exe and then restarting it didn't change the behavior in the Management Console. After I rebooted the system, the Anti-Exploit Shields are now showing as enabled in the Management Console. I thought I had done a reboot prior to posting, but with all the systems that I'm deploying to, some may have been missed.
I will try this on the others that are showing the shields off in the management console after hours tonight and report back if that solves it for the balance of the systems.
