    Cannot open windows antivirus: IT has limited access... have tried everything


    Hi there,I cannot access windows antivirus. I get this message.I've read through countless posts and have tried the following:1. Running the securityhealthsetup_e16941e14861a6d24750ecdf05c548189b33182a tool as admin.2. Running cmd's that delete registry keys that supposedly fix the issue. Did not fix.3. Resetting windows with a cloud-based re-install.4. Scanning C drive for errors none found.5. Cleaning up system files.6. Trying to reinstall from the Windows 11 ISO Win11_24H2_English_x64. This fails for me:I'm at a loss for what to do or try next.I am using a surface pro X.There is only on

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows Security "Limited access by IT Admin"

    Step 1:

    • Save Fixlist.txt in the same folder where EnglishFRST64.exe is.
    • Close all program windows.
    • Launch the Farbar Scanner tool and click "Fix".
    • Upload the output log file (FixLog.txt) to your OneDrive.
    • Reboot Windows when prompted.

    Step 2:

    Ensure the system is connected to the internet.

    From an admin Command Prompt, run:

    • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    And then run:

    • SFC /scannow

    After the command completes, reboot Windows.

    Open Windows Security and check the status of your antivirus.

    Cannot open windows antivirus: IT has limited access... have tried everything

    Can't access/open the Windows Security on Windows 11! Tried all fixes.

    Can't access/open the Windows Security after upgrading to Windows 11!

    I tried all the fixes suggested in the community, everything did not work. I tried repairing and resetting the apps, using powershell, sfc /scannow, and many others that was suggested in the microsoft community

    I already tried re-installing the windows 11 but still it did not work. Windows security won't open,

    Windows is updated and I don't have any third party antivirus app.
