No access to defender
Hello, i dont know why but i cant/barely access to my defender, if i try to open the basic defender it tells me: "Page not available. Your admin has restricted access to some areas of this app. The resources you are trying to access are not available. Please contact the helpdesk for more information.".
I can only access to: Firewall, Network Protection, App & Browser Control, Device Security.
I also alr checked if anyone else has access to my pc, nor defender. Also checked for permission - im a full admin with the same permissions as before. I tried to test my defender, itd deleted the virus (test file), itd told me i cant open the file because its a virus, tho it didnt send me "caution, virus detected" message. I apreciat any kind of help. Tho its not like its bad - the defender doing its job and thats alr, just wanna know why how im not allowed to access

Do you have any other third-party AV installed. If so, your Defender might run in passive mode with limited functionality, also check if the Microsoft Defender services are running..
Hello,
This is a known issue on Version 23H2 or later. See if this fix helps you:
