Hi all, i am having trouble running a virus scan, my virus and protection is unable to launch.
I have recently gotten a lenovo ideapad gaming laptop, running windows 11 pro and ever since i can not launch virus and protection.

I have followed the below steps, however i am still stuck with the same issue,

1. Run SFC and DISM
   
2. Repair & Reset Windows Security
   
3. Restart Windows Security Service ( unable to restart, option is greyed out)
   
4. Check your Date and Time settings
   
5. Turn on Virus and threat protection settings ( unable to as it isnt in windows security panel)
   
6. Turn on Real-time protection ( same issue as above, it isnt available)
   
7. Uninstall any other third-party antivirus
   
8. Run a malware scan with ESET security
   
9. Fix: Windows Security Virus & Threat Protection missing using Local Group Policy Editor
   
   1. Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows components\Windows Security\Virus and threat protection
      
   2. Select “Not Configured” or Disabled to show the Virus & threat protection in Windows Security.
      
10. Using Registry Editor
    
    1. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender Security Center\Virus and threat protection
       
    2. Set the value to 0 to show. Or you can also delete “UILockdown” to show the Virus and threat protection.
       
11. Use PowerShell
    
    1. Set-MpPreference -UILockdown 0
       

Please could someone help me, i feel really compromised without the ability to access virus and protection settings.
( Note, the only other program which may have a conflict that i am running is lenovo vantage)

 

No Virus and Threat Protection Tab

Open Group Policy snap-in by running gpedit.msc command.

Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Defender Security Center > Virus and threat protection.

Set 'Hide the Virus and threat protection area' setting to Not Configured.
