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.

    This is so stupid. Espacially the bug is not 100% appears. I did clean reinstall Win11 21H2 using the official media creation tool for two laptops. However only one got this problem. All the win version, defender version and all other updates are same but only one laptop got the issue. Although I received the 22H2 update, but I have no plan to update them. Looks the 22H2 has more problems.

    All bugs are stupid, not just this one. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    It is a bug caused by the wrong updates for Windows security. Some PC got the wrong updates before MS put those updates on hold after they realized they messed up.

    You can check your

    C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth

    folder in the failing machine and compare with the one that does not fail.

    This is what I have on the 22H2 Build 22621. The 21H2 Build 22000.xxx should have a different update.

    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.

    I had the exact same issue and following these steps and turning on "Reputation-based protection" immediately fixed the warning message. Now have a green tick and hover shows "Windows Security - No Actions Needed.".

    Thanks for the information, this had been bugging me for weeks!

    I bet you are still missing the App and Browser control from "View security dashboard", right? 😎
