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
Easy fix Asuka_Okami
open PowerShell in admin mode then type
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage
Then Enter
Congrats its been fixed.
Literally 30 seconds max to fix. After hitting enter with the above copied and pasted comment I was waiting for something else to happen. After a few minutes of staring at the screen I decided to open Windows Defender. All Windows Defender apps are now working and I can access them. MS needs to put this on the very first page. Not several pages deep! Thank you for the "fix!"
