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

Neither "system file checker..." nor "Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage" worked on my computer. But the following command in an elevated PowerShell solved the problem: Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SecHealthUI_1000.22000.1.0_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppXManifest.xml"

  Thanks, this worked for me: Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SecHealthUI_1000.22000.1.0_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppXManifest.xml", followed by Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage
