My Windows Security at a glance is empty .i found out that the windows defender service is also missing .i tried reinstalling the service from another laptop but the problem persists. it also kinda affected microsoft store and it no longer works.

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.
- Reza_AmeriSilver ContributorThank 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.
- KlevyCopper ContributorI did all that and even did the restore health command but it didn't work . I already fixed it though
- KlevyCopper ContributorHey I finally fixed it I did a fresh reinstall via a usb bootable drive and it worked like a charm . It'll work trust me

So as I. I saw a video on youtube that the only way to totally fix it is to reinstall Windows 11 or some alternative methods but it did not work for me. Fix empty Windows 11 Security or Defender App - YouTube
