    Before reinstalling Windows, you may perform some basic troubleshooting steps and that would solve the issue. I advise you to open start and search for cmd or Command prompt and right click and run it as administrator and type the following command:

     

    sfc /scannow

     

    Press enter and let it runs.

    If it detected, it find and fix corrupted files, then try open the Windows Security and see if the problem persist?

      Reza_Ameri I just reinstalled windows 11 and its working again. I did those basic cmd fixes too but it didn't work for me.

        Thank you for sharing, make sure share all bugs and errors using the Feedback Hub app (before reinstalling Windows) , so the Windows team would be able to investigate and resolve the issue.

        Klevy I also reinstalled mine by installing the ISO file from windows 11 a couple days too. I didn't do it by having a USB drive I just did it with the setup.exe when I installed the ISO file.
