Issue with Windows Defender on Windows 11
I cannot open any of the settings on windows defender, when i try to it tells me to look for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store. Is this a bug or some other (fixable) issue?
- I had this problem on all machines updated from 19043.1151 to 22000.120.
This command from elevated PowerShell fixed the problem for me, try it and report the results:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage
I found that running the steps here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system-files-79aa86cb-ca52-166a-92a3-966e85d4094e resolved the issue, so it seems like the update corrupted some files.
Thats for windows 10, and older, this post already said that it was using windows 11.
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage
use this command in Windows Powershell as administrator WertyTT4
- Worked for Windows 11
