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 can open start/settings/security/then when I click on security the window opens, is blank (BLACK) and the page freezes up. it will not open anything else you click on. you have to close the entire page, then reopen settings to get to anything else, but security WILL NOT WORK!

I have the exact same issue. Tried all the troubleshooting steps everyone else has given but nothing seems to work to resolve this.
