I am installing an application from a trusted source, and I was going to exclude a folder from Windows Defender. But then this happened!

Every single category doesn't work!

My build:

Edition Windows 11 Home

Version 21H2

Installed on ‎8/‎16/‎2021

OS build 22000.132

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.132.0

I am in the beta channel

All help is appreciated!

Hi,

Open an elevated Powershell window. Execute this command to resolve the problem.

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