    Windows defender--Windows 11

    I didn't know about the rename, so that did help. But if I click on App Settings for Windows Security as you suggest, it brings me to the Settings>Apps>Apps & Features. Windows Security isn't even in the list. There is no "Repair" option and no reset button on this screen - even for the apps that are there. Did I miss a step or has it changed since you documented this?

    BlueSound OS conflict with Windows Defender

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that Windows Defender blocks BluOS app. It is very unusual that Windows Defender blocks the app. However, I would suggest you to try adding the app to the Exclusion list of Windows Defender and see if that helps.



    To add the application to the Exclusion list, please refer the steps mentioned in the article

    Add an exclusion to Windows Security    .



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    Windows Defender Blocking Installations of Downloaded Apps

    Hi Craig,

    There's a possibility that the SmartScreen option is on that's why you're unable to install downloaded apps. Let's try to turn it off and see if it helps. See the steps below:

    • Open Windows Defender Security Center from your Start menu, desktop, or taskbar.
    • Click on the App and browser control button on the left side of the window.
    • Click on Off in the Check apps and files section.

    Let us know if the suggestion helps you out.
