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
Issue seems to exist to this date (30th April 2022) when a you upgrade from win10 to win11.
The user (login user) you used to do this might not work with Defender as described in OP.
If you are in a fresh install, the quickest and most painless way to do it is create a new user, this user should be able to open the defender flawlessly. Then later it is your discretion whether to keep, move data or delete the original one.
At least this is what happened with me , I saw user related exception in powershell from mentioned solution so It moved to me test it with a new fresh user, I created a new user and it worked!!
