The MiniTool register from disk worked for me

This worked for me. The MiniTool instructions. Background: at first when I went into powershell (admin not needed to list them) and type: Code:

In the resulting list of 29 items, Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI was NOT listed. It was totally missing. So none of the more common "re-register" steps would work because they require Get-AppxPackage to see it and on my system it couldn't. But the MiniTool approach gets at it from the file location on disk: C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI_cw5n1h2txyewy This WAS there on my system.

fixed it. It essentially reinstalled it. Then it appeared in the list returned from Get-AppxPackage and the "Open Windows Security" button in settings worked.
