Windows 10: I am unable to access "Virus and Protection" settings

I was trying to access my Virus and Threat Protection settings and its not letting me get there. It keeps saying this"Page not available - Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available. Contact IT help desk for more information." This is my personal computer and the account I am on is the administrator so I have no idea why it would come up with this message. Any guidance to get this to stop coming up would be appreciated I'm on windows 11.

Windows 11 Virus & Protection | Page Not Found | Contact your IT Admin

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)

 

Accessing Exclusion in Virus and Threat Protection,

Hello there!

Is there any other way to access the exclusion for virus and threat protection? I've tried to follow steps shown online but I cannot find the settings.

Thank you!

 

Accessing "Virus & threat protection settings"

There are a few things you can try:



1. Try opening the Control Panel and then going to Security and then Virus & threat protection settings.



2. If that doesn't work, try opening the Start Menu and then typing "gpedit.msc" into the search bar. This should open up the Group Policy Editor, which should then allow you to access the Virus & threat protection settings.







3. If neither of those work, then you may not have the correct permissions to access the Virus & threat protection settings. In that case, you'll need to contact your administrator and ask for access.
