When i try to open Virus & threat protection, it says "Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app". I tried to find a solution but none of them worked, i tried deleting other accounts, i deleted 3rd party anti-virus and i tried using cmd and none of them worked. So if you got a different way to fix it, please help me. Thank you.

Go to C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth. It it's empty:

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

    After a reinstall/clean windows 11 home install on home pc i get same message?. How to solve this?

    I want to place a screenshot of this how do i do this? Man Microsoft is such a bloody mesh since a year or 2. they literally fkcd everlything up from email services like outlook, where phisers and hackers getting a red carpet laying down to block access to my outlook inbox before getting all my changed inlog passwords and codes and shaking up my ups ports of my 3000 euro windows 11 home pc. I mean i own for 20 years microfort laptops and pc and used outlook emails but previous 2 years has change my view on on microsoft forever. Its totally unrialable. And if u could dsay or tell me im frequint dark net buyer or cryptonet hussler. I ffs only use steam and youtube and wordpad. Its insane this kind of things overcome me. Microsoft really start quickly to take their clients and users seriurltsy or shut the whole company down. Ive resqued my 3000 euro pc NEARLY because i was at the right moment the attack happenend, flipping ups ports someone started attacked my usb ports, ive notice it because audio in an outplug sounds go on forever making me crazy. Never happened to me in previous 15 years of outlook use. Clients/users are should not get permanent damaged pcs due to insuffiecient security measures from microsfot. im doing nothing more with this pc because microsoft windows 11 is too risky to use. Is a hackers paradise.

    OMG. Thank you so much this link and the setup worked for me promise. [ 24/09/2024 ]

    Windows security works for me on Windows 11 Home edition now onwards.

    And also i would like to know, Is that enough this windows security without using anyother virus guards for the PC to deal with virus and malwares..? I heard windows 11 has a very reliable windows security software. Is that true?
