Windows Security is not accessible in Windows 11 Home

I recently encountered an error and am unable to access Windows Security after resetting the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Laptop. When opening Windows Security, the app window is blank. When attempting the same with Virus & Threat Protection, I receive an error: 'Page not found - Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available. Contact the IT helpdesk for more information.

I checked the "C:\Windows\System32" path and its empty. Same for the group policy folder.

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 ( can't access. Page not found error)
   
6. Turn on Real-time protection ( same issue as above, it isn't available)
   
7. Uninstall any other third-party antivirus (removed mcAfee that came with Laptop)
   
8. 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.
      
9. 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.
      
10. Use PowerShell
    
    1. Set-MpPreference -UILockdown 0
       
11. Reset PC (Clean install) but no success)
    
12. Install all updates (No Success)
    

This is a brand-new laptop, and Windows 11 is already causing issues. Please help because it seems the virus protection is not working; on startup, I receive a notification to turn on virus protection.

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
