Windows defender app
If it is a standalone machine, try checking for updates via the settings UI, and via the store app. Make sure all is up to date and there are no pending updates.
Maybe stupid, but "have you tried turning it off and on again" 🤣
If that doesn't work, try to scan for corrupte files using the sfc /scannow command...
- Matthias_VDBApr 30, 2021Iron ContributorDid you try the SFC command?
Do you have other AV software installed on your machine? - henkweheApr 30, 2021Copper ContributorI have running the DISM command but it have not any effect.

can you run this command in an elevated PowerShell and post the results here?

HotCakeX Doesn't this only give the status?
I think there will be some corrupted files... or a failing update....
Had something similar in the past... Think I needed to reset the store app as well in that case. (wsreset.exe)
what i would do in this case:
1. check if there are pending updates via updates in the Settings UI
2. check for pending updates in the store app
3. sfc /scannow if still not resolved
4. wsreset
5. check for updates again
If still nogo, then further analysis will be needed... Maybe some policies or settings are left on the machine due to earlier installations, file type asociation which are wrongfully configured, other security software preventing normal behaviour.
But this is my opinion, didn't have any handons on the system
