Hi Ramesh, You're a star. This has finally fixed the issue. I am very gratefull for all your help and patience here. Best Regards Frank

Hi Ramesh Are these are of any significance if not I will just give up trying until the moment 5 release and hope that Microsoft spot and find the solution to this. Thanks for all your help along the way. I have learned a lot from you. Frank

The 1st location "WindowsApps" contains the Windows Security UWP app files. The "SecurityHealth" folder contains the platform files. The two folders exist in every system. The problem is that the service doesn't start even though all the necessary files are in place. The app version is secondary. First, the service has to start. The registry settings were fine when I inspected the log. //Also when using the Robo command the contents of folder was updated not the whole security folder replaced. Is replacing the whole folder worth a try?// I don't think that will help because the robocopy command we used does the replacing part automatically. The platform files are intact as far as I know.

The same model Vaio (my Daughters) that runs Security ok is operating the GUI (SecHealthUI.exe) from this loaction C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SecHealthUI_1000.25873.9001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe. Whereas the laptop with issue seems to have the files here C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth. Any thoughts on whats going on here ? I was tying to replicate the set up when I came across this. Thank you Frank

Those entries have no significance. Those entries show up in my system as well. You'll see a lot of Not Found entries for any operation you do. Usually, most of those entries have no significance.

You may try this if possible.

Download this REG file and save it to a folder named c:\reg\

Launch AdvancedRun (from Nirsoft) and start cmd.exe as TrustedInstaller.

In the TrustedInstaller Command Prompt, run:

reg.exe import c:\reg\securityhealth.reg
exit

This restores some essential registry keys used by Defender.
