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.

    I'm impatient and I did it myself with Enric's fix. It looks like MS dropped the Windows Security app from the MS Store. It is not there. It is documented that it is built into Windows Defender but appears to not be integrating properly. I believe Microsoft needs to either add the app back to the store as a downloaded app and/or add the file to the Microsoft Defender app and point it to the Security Health folder in the C drive. I ran the WIN11 update, that's when the issues started. I looked and no Windows Security in my App Tray, only in my System Tray. Also, Secuity Health folder was empty - no Windows Security files. I uninstalled and reinstalled the update 2x, no resolve. I did a factory reset 2x times which reinstalled the newest version of WIN11. Still no resolve with Device Security exclamation mark and unable to access it. Enric's download fix shows the file reinstalls from the Microsoft Store App but there is no longer such app in the store and it works. The app is now my App Tray and System Tray and is functioning correctly. The latest update is quite a pain if Protection History is turned on. I have to allow my previously owned apps, files and programs to the Controlled Access Folder. I don't remember doing this when I switched from WIN10 to WIN11 last year. However, I had Mcafee until I decided to just use Windows/Microsoft virus software since the WIN11 update in Oct so maybe that's why? I guess I could turn it off but then afraid of further issues so it's just easier to select Allow when I get the security popup.

    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.
