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

Sorry for the delay - tried & tried & tried must be nearly 20 times & then unexpectedly got a Green Banner flash across top of screen for a few seconds - was a bit odd & too quickly gone to get a picture - but - noticed the Privacy Shield in Taskbar had changed & on checking now have access to Privacy & Security ???????????
Oddly as I type I notice Windows Update 10.0.22000.132 KB5005190 Cumulative update is at 5% so I wonder if that is also a Windows Patch for the Defender Issues ?

    Well, it is still a beta... Should only be installed if you don't really *need* you computer...😉

    Tantalising 2minutes & 25 seconds from entering screen lock to getting screen apps appear on a black screen and a further 20second to get taskbar showing - a bit sluggish but should improve - all settings areas appear to be working correctly except for one section in Windows Updates/Update History/Quality Updates - Updates are listed but where it says "Learn More" all that can be seen is "Error 404" & nothing found in any of those subsections

    Still some oddity - the Windows 11 logo in the screen has disappeared leaving just a black background but my guess is it can all be readjusted - windows Update install complete & now needs to restart computer - get back to you once back online 🙂

    Just to say a big thankyou for keeping me trying & retrying - yes it must have taken almost 20 times with no spelling or character or space errors and my advice to others is to keep doing it till laptop gives in and accepts that command line- it eventually worked & restored access to the Privacy & Security Suite Yey
    Thanks Again 🙂
