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.

    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.

    omg, it worked !
    I was so stressed for past few days, glad i found this post and was finally able to fix this "windows defender actions recommended notification".

    I was also not able to see App and Browser control, i searched it on windows start menu & it finally popped up !
    I literally made an account here to thank you

    But thats completely different to our Problem.

    The Bug is ,that Defender is working fine but App&Browser Control is not reachable over the Security Dashboard.

    Your Problem is that Defender is completely not working anymore, that´s maybe related to Malware. That´s totally ok but has nothing to do with the Problematic that we are talking here.
