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
Actually, it didn't work for me because it said that the Appx Package is not installed.
Same for me. I tried this and worked for my user account but not for my wife's in the same PC, when I try to run this powershell routine in her profile (admin, too), I get the same error message, any workarounds in this case?
- Try, add-appxpackage -disabledevelopmentmode -register ((Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -allusers).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml')
- Awesome, I don't know what it did with my PC/Win11 OS but this one worked flawlessly, thanks!

- Does this problem even exist in the latest build? Ain't that the release build?
- Uh, yes
