Issue with Windows Defender on Windows 11

I cannot open any of the settings on windows defender, when i try to it tells me to look for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store. Is this a bug or some other (fixable) issue?

I had this problem on all machines updated from 19043.1151 to 22000.120.
This command from elevated PowerShell fixed the problem for me, try it and report the results:

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage

It doesn't even work for me because it says I do not have the package installed. I opened windows PowerShell and ran Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers and it said that InstallLocation is C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SecHealthUI_1000.22000.1.0_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe

then I did go to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SecHealthUI_1000.22000.1.0_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe

and there was a .exe file and it didn't work.

I had package not installed too. Try this from an elevated powershell:

add-appxpackage -disabledevelopmentmode -register ((Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -allusers).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml')
