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.

    Same issue, windows 11.

    Multiple clean installs using the main windows 11 release via media creator app, app and browser control missing.

    Have been forced to switch over to the beta release to stop the annoying exclamation mark on the security centre.

    beta fully working.

    Windows 11 was functioning perfectly before I did a clean install a few weeks ago, as my system was starting to slow down.

    On an unrelated note, the beta is really nice, and the new task manager looks really really good.

    @LeeWilson9,

    This below is the update that fixed Beta, but broke current Public Build 22000.xxx. 🀣

    I you already switched to Beta you cannot check anymore if this update was installed on your 22000.xxx build or not. 😎

    App & browser control can still be reached from this screen

    the bug is only affecting the security dashboard below where it is now missing completely on 21H2 Builds after they applied the Windows Security

    platform 1.0.2207.20002.

    They fixed 22H2 and broke 21H2 using the same update. 🀣🀣🀣🀣

    Before the latest platform update 21H2 builds were working fine, with version 1.0.2109.27002. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

    This fixed it!!

    I recently did a clean Win 11 home 21H2 build 22000.856 install, and everything went well except for the windows security "action needed" notification. When I opened Win Security, nothing needed attention; however, I noticed the App and Browser Control section was missing. I typed in "App" in the Windows start menu, and the "App and Browser Control" section in system settings popped up. I clicked on it and turned on the "Reputation-based protection," and the "action needed" warning disappeared.

    Fixed what?

    App & browser control are still missing from this page in latest 22000.978 Build and also 22000.1041.

    Microsoft still did not fix the problem on current public build 21H2, they only fixed it in 22H2 Builds.
