Windows Security

Question

I'm unable to open Windows security on my computer. Plz help me this.

Answer 1

My computer is running win11 dev build. Would it fix the problem if I reset the computer ?

Answer 2

No. I didn't see anything as per your description. I aborted the process after I saw some red lines. then I restarted the computer and the problem was still there.

Answer 3

Hi abhizeit,

The process takes a few minutes complete. As long as you see the yellow lines change

periodically, it is alright. Ensure that you are running PowerShell (ADMIN)

When it is finished, the screen will be filled with red lines. That is normal as well.

Did you see yellow lines on a green background? How long did you let it run?

Hi abhizeit,

Your problem is somewhat unusual.

Try this to see if it offers any relief.

Copy this PowerShell Cmdlet

get-appxpackage -allusers | foreach {add-appxpackage -disabledevelopmentmode -register "$($_.installlocation)\appxmanifest.xml"}

Open Windows PowerShell (Admin) by right-clicking Start, and selecting PowerShell (Admin).

Set the mouse pointer onto the blinking cursor and Right-ckick. The Cmdlet should populate

PowerShell. Hit <enter> and the APPX procedure will run. You should see it running at the

top portion of your screen. It will run for a few minutes. Disregard the red output lines that

occur. That is normal. When it is finished type "Exit" and <enter> to exit PowerShell.

Restart your PC and try accessing Defender again.

Good luck, Glen

the process is taking too long to finish ...

Open Windows PowerShell (Admin) by right-clicking Start, and selecting PowerShell (Admin).

Set the mouse pointer onto the blinking cursor and Right-ckick. The Cmdlet should populate

PowerShell. If the procedure does not start on its own, hit <enter> and the APPX procedure

will run. You should see it running, by the yellow on green lines at the top portion of your screen.

It will run for several minutes. Disregard the red output lines that occur. That is normal. When

it is finished, the yellow lines will disappear. Type "Exit" and <enter> to exit PowerShell.

Restart your PC and try accessing Defender again.

Good luck, Glen
