Hello, suggest you try this with PS under elevated window:
Get-AppxPackage -allusers *SecHealthUI* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

I have tried everything in this thread, and nothing works. I have used DISM repair, SFC scannow, restore and repair in the app settings....nothing. I simply have a blank screen when I go to Windows Security, and nothing shows up in the taskbar.
Little_Joe This is what I get when I try and run this.
