Hi,

I am using the latest version of Windows 11 and I have found it out that the App & Browser Control is missing in the Windows Security. Although it is shown in settings but in the app its completely missing after the update. When I clicked it there is no response for it. Kindly check it in your system too and help me out. I am on my Windows 11 Beta version.

    There is a fix/workaround found for this. What is causing the issue is a leftover defender folder:

    C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth\1.0.2109.27002-0

    See:

    https://www.elevenforum.com/t/app-browser-control-section-is-completely-missing-from-windows-security-center.6725/page-2#post-148001

    I deleted this folder from the recovery command prompt from my 22000 windows 11 and was able to update to the latest beta and retain "App and Browser Control". I am on 22622.436 now.

    In that thread one person said it worked for them deleting it from the beta, but that did not work for another. It definitely works deleting it in 22000.xxx prior to updating to the 22622 beta (or release preview)

    Anyhow that is the source of the issue and a fix.

    @redtailed,

    This is no longer needed, the problem in 22621 and 22622 has been fixed with platform update 1.0.2207.20002-0.

    Unfortunately, they used the same update in current public Build 22000.xxx and in that case it created the problem instead of fixing it.

    It looks like that fix is not compatible with builds 22000.xxx 🤷‍♂️

    Short blanket again, fix one break another. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    This worked like a charm - immediately. The problem showed up when I uninstalled preload McAfee. I tried everything I could find, nothing worked until this. Kudos Tck Expat!

    Which Build are you currently using?

    Looks like they fix the problem for 22621 and 22622 with security platform update, but they ended up breaking it for current public Build.

    See posts of Sept 6 in this link for 22000.918:

    Build 22000.918, KB5016691 available to insider R.P. and public build. - Microsoft Community

    You can see here that it is back on this page on Build 22621,457 after they added the update above.
