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

Asuka_Okami in my case, I was unable to run the reset command directly.
Get-AppxPackage: The 'Get-AppxPackage' command was found in the module 'Appx', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module Appx'.
When attempting to run the import module command, I got the following:
Import-Module: Operation is not supported on this platform. (0x80131539)
Instead, I had to do the following steps:
Start PowerShell and type:
Import-Module Appx -usewindowspowershell
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage
