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
