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've just spent 24 hours doing a complete reinstall of windows 10 on a brand new Acer nitro and then onto Win 11 and have probably downloaded at least 80 gigs data on music software and all was sweet and then this morning the update has broken Windows defender as per this thread. I'm going to have a jolly good go at putting Windows 8.1 Pro on this Acer as I'm over windows with the amount of updates and patches and patches to fix the patches that are broken and at the end of the day life is too short. The laptop might only have been $2,000 but the software on it was 3 times that amount and I haven't got time for this constant toing and froing. I have two other laptops on Windows 8.1 Pro because of this ongoing issue and they are running absolutely fine in fact perfect. I thought Windows 11 was pretty neat but multiple updates and patches, patches to fix patches, back to 8.1 pro
But you do know, that this is not the finished product? 😉
