Windows 10: Windows 11- Can't access Windows Security. Tried all the fixes I could find.

I had to rebuild my computer and reinstall Win 10, then Win 11. Now, when I try to get into Windows Security, I get a "Get an app to open this "windowsdefender" link" message. So far, I have tried:Updating WindowsI can't repair/reset the App because it doesn't show up in the App list.Using Powershell to run "Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers Reset-AppxPackage"Someone suggested looking for Microsoft.SecHealthUI_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx and reinstalling it.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

• Linux
• Linux
• Linux
• Linux
• Oh and OSX

Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.

 

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?
