Thank you for following up.

You can try to reinstall Windows Security using PowerShell with administrative rights(Press the Windows Key+X, then select PowerShell Admin) and run the following command:

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

I have done this and it does resolve it at all.

Answer 5

Hello, thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. I am here to help and provide assistance with any questions or concerns you may have.

My suggestion would be to check for and fix any potential errors on your computer by using Command Prompt with administrative rights. Simply search for Command Prompt in the search bar, right-click, and select "Run as administrator."

Once that's done, go ahead and run these commands:

sfc /scannow

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Let me know if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can do to assist you.
