Windows 10: Can't open Windows Security App

I just updated to Windows 11 and had a clean Windows 10 install prior to that. For some reason, I cannot open my "Windows Security" app. I have AVAST and Malwarebytes as my anti-virus software. But looking for help to just open the app. Thanks

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
