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
This is the right answer for me. As describe, the key for me was running the command as the logged on user and not as administrator to disable the development mode.

Can you explain better what you mean with "as the logged on user and not as administrator to disable the development mode"?

I follow the solution wrote by ak2766 on avr. 06 2022 who made an update to the post of Rebecca Harshbarger.
First: run the command below via an elevated PowerShell and next I launch another PowerShell WITHOUT elevated permission, then I executed the commands to disable the development mode.
add-appxpackage -disabledevelopmentmode -register ('<THE PATH OF YOUR MANIFEST>\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SecHealthUI_1000.22581.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml')
And after I run the Get-AppxPacakge WITH elevated permission.- Unfortunatelly, I already tried what in that post.
But my username is listed in the PackageUserInformation, so, as esxpected, this "workaround" doesn't apply in my case....
