Windows 10: Restore Virus and Threat Protection in Windows 11

Hi there,I had recently reset my PC to fix some weird boot issues. I chose the option to keep my files which reinstalled McAfee. I then uninstalled the same using their MCPR tool and now I am unable to open Virus and Threat protection or even scan folders using context menu. I get the following popup:How do I restore it? I have tried resetting it via the Apps and Programs menu and also tried deleting the registry folder of Windows Defender, use the Powershell command: Get-AppXPackage Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml"}as sugges

Virus and Threat Protection Missing (Windows 11)

The Virus and Threat Protection part of Windows Security is not showing and I have tried various registry edits and commands to try and get this back and nothing has worked. Windows security menu shows this:

When I click "Virus and threat protection" it shows this:

I am the administrator and the sole user of my computer. Here is a screenshot of my Local Group Policy:

I've ran sfc /scannow. I've also ran the Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth commands. In Registry at "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender Security Center\Virus and threat protection" this folder (Virus and threat protection) did not exist but I made a DWORD32 called "UILockdown" and set it to 0. Here is the Powershell command "Get-MpComputerStatus" which says antivirus is active?

I don't have any 3rd party antivirus applications installed. I've also a virus scan via some Microsoft scanner (MSERT.exe) and it didn't find any issues. Can anyone help please?

Virus and threat protection has stopped and will not restart, Windows 10 ver 1709, antimalware client ver 4.12.16299.15 . SuperAntiSpyware installed.

I have tried most of the suggestions from the support pages, all have been ineffective. Any suggestions

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)

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
