Download SecurityHealthSetup:

https://catalog.s.download.windowsupdate.com/c/msdownload/update/software/defu/2024/02/securityhealthsetup_e16941e14861a6d24750ecdf05c548189b33182a.exe

Right click on securityhealthsetup_e16941e14861a6d24750ecdf05c548189b33182a.exe and run as administrator. You should see a couple of command windows flash.

The Windows Security UI should work straight away. If not, restart the computer and give the system a few minutes to initialize before checking.


If that doesn't work, please run Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) and share your logs.

- If your computer language is not English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe.
- Run FRST and press "Scan".
- Two logs are created in the folder that FRST is run from, FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
- Zip the logs and upload to OneDrive, Google Drive or any file sharing service and post the share link.

\*\*If you are downloading FRST with Edge, smartscreen may initially block it.

   Click on the 3 dots next to the warning and select Keep-&gt; Show more-&gt; Keep anyway.
