Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

The following methods may help you solve the problem you are experiencing.

1. In the search, type "PowerShell" When PowerShell appears, press "Run as administrator" Click "Yes" on the following prompt. Enter the following commands in the order shown.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted

After that, try opening Windows Security Center. It should work now.

2. Open the Command Prompt: Search for "cmd" in the Start menu, right-click "Command Prompt" and select "Run as Administrator".

Run the System File Checker tool:

Enter the following command and press Enter to run:

sfc /scannow

Wait for the scan and repair process to complete. Restart the computer: Restart the computer after completion and check if Windows Defender has returned to normal.

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best Regards,

Yanhong Liu
