Is Microsoft aware of this issue and working on it?

Yesterday, I contacted the Microsoft Windows Support Team. They informed me that this issue has been identified and, to resolve it, an update will be released soon (probably by the end of this month).

I reverted back to Windows 10 four days ago. Today I got a notification for the Windows 11 22H2 update. Please inform me when they release the fix so that I can proceed with the Windows 11 update.

Thank you.

    The file is missing from the Security Health folder in the latest WIN11 update! I noticed it was missing after I ran the WIN11 update from Windows Updates a couple of weeks ago. I uninstalled the update and reinstalled but still missing. I looked at the Microsoft Store thinking of reinstalling Windows Security but there is no such app, only Microsoft Defender. I thought maybe it was my system and did a factory reset and reinstalled WIN11 again. Still no file Device Security option. Check out Enric Cortes (page 9 of this thread) to download the file and copy it to the Security Health folder. It works.

    OMG! Thanks so much Enric! I downloaded the and changed ownership. (thankfully, I am slightly techy being a retired IT tech) Is it possible this file is not in the newest WIN11 update or did something happen during the reinstalls of WIN11 update and the reset? I had the folder but no file after the WIN11 update but did have it before I updated my WIN11 installed last year. I clicked the item you mentioned, and it took me to reinstall Windows Security from the Microsoft App Store (yet when I search the store on it is not listed) I already looked trying to reinstall Windows Security, there is only Microsoft Defender. All is well and I now have Windows Security functioning correctly as it did before I ran the WIN11 update last week.

    Hello, Charmaine.Kavanagh

    If no folder appears in that location, you can try reinstalling Windows Security Platform with the new update. Download from this link the folder that contains the application:

    https://app.box.com/s/8br9g6arlce8pgxx5hmh6t1jcv4zj2s0

    Now follow these steps:

    1. Create a restore point first
    2. Unzip the downloaded ZIP file on the Desktop
    3. Navigate to the location C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth to take ownership of that folder:

    Properties > Security > Advanced Options > Change > Administrators

    Check the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" box and click Apply.

    In the "SecurityHealth Permissions" window select Administrators > Full Control. Apply.

    1. Copy the "1.0.2207.20002-0" folder on the Desktop to the SecurityHealth folder
    2. Open the folder and run the application "Microsoft.SecHealthUI_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx" as administrator to update.
    3. Restart the computer.

    Tell us if it worked

    Note: make these settings at your own risk.
