Win11 Find my device settings page fails to open with a blank screen
When I go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Find My Device, the page appears blank. The page fails to load any options or status information related to device location features.
Closing and reopening Settings does not resolve the issue, and the problem persists even after restarting the computer. This issue occurs on my version of Windows 11 and prevents me from managing the location settings for lost or stolen devices.

The blank Find My Device page is a Settings rendering failure; eligibility alone should not produce an empty page. First confirm the device is online, a personal Microsoft administrator account is signed in, and Settings > Privacy & security > Location has device location enabled. Find My Device does not work with only a work or school account. Install all Windows updates and restart. If the page remains blank, open an elevated Command Prompt and run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth, followed by sfc /scannow, then restart again. Test the page in a new local administrator profile; if it opens there, the original user profile or Settings state is damaged. Check whether the device is listed on your Microsoft account’s Devices page. If both profiles show a blank page after system-file repair, submit the Windows build and Settings screenshots through Feedback Hub or Microsoft Support rather than editing undocumented registry values.
