Window defender Black Screen

Since last week, my Windows Defender hasn't been working. In the Control Center, it says, 'The Windows Security Center Service can't be started.' Additionally, when I open Windows Defender, it displays a blank or black screen. Please help me fix this.

    Run Windows Troubleshooter. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot. Run the troubleshooter for Additional troubleshooters related to hardware and devices.

      Does this delete user and app data in C drive?

        No. However, you should back up the data in case of unexpected failure.

    A simple reboot could be enough. I came across this problem a few days ago and it was fixed after restart.

    Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can cause black screen issues. You need to download the latest graphics driver from the official website.

    I fixed it by booting Windows 11 in safe mode. After that, exit safe mode and the problem never appears again.

    I'm having a sort of similar issue on Windows 10. Will this fix work for Windows 10? Will it do damage to Windows 10?
