windows security won't open

Hi Avni,

Most likely, some of Windows Services was disabled upon installing third party anti-virus software.

Please follow the step below to ensure that your Windows Services are running:

Run services.msc to open the Windows Services Manager.

Here you will have to ensure that the required services are set to Automatic and are started and running:

Windows Defender Firewall (MpsSvc) – Automatic

CNG Key Isolation (KeyIso) – Manual (Trigger Start)

Base Filtering Engine (BFE) – Automatic

Firewall Client Agent (FwcAgent) – Automatic

In case they are not, change their Startup type to the type as mentioned above and Start the Services.

Let me know if this will help you solve your concern.

Thanks and regards,
