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?
- Aug 07, 2021I 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

If you had this problem with build 22000.120 you probably also have the bug on (Shift + Restart)
Recovery advanced startup gets a BSOD PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED, you should try and see if you have also that bug.
