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

@Jabber00,

You could try with the following cmdlets and make sure you run PS with admin rights.

Get-AppxPackage -allusers *SecHealthUI* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

This is the message I receive with admin rights:

I already tried similar cmdlets (the one in the previous message), but nothing solved the problem
