Windows Security won't open on Windows 11
I've found a workaround for this.
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage
Type the above command into Windows Powershell (as admin) and once it shows that the command os executed (should be instant), restart your device and your Windows Security should work now.
The only issue is that you'll have to redo this once you shutdown your device (at least in my case) MaryPaddock
ShahbazUbaid I appreciate the suggestion, but it didn't work. I'd actually tried it already along with a host of other suggestions found in other places, but thought I'd missed something. I did not.
I'm fairly sure I'm going to have to reinstall Windows again to fix this. It will have to wait until the weekend as I work full-time from home and this has eaten up far too much of my time as it is.
Exceedingly frustrating.

I am in the same boat after the lastest update. I've tried everything, including factory reset (twice). Still locked out.MaryPaddock
