    Windows 11 Virus & Threat protection keeps hiding itself


    Windows 11 -> Windows Security -> "Virus & Threat protection"keeps hiding itselt. Every time I restart laptop, it is gone. I fould out that the problem is in registry:\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Policy Manager There is DWORD 32-bit value "AllowUserUIAccess" which should be 1, but it keeps turning to 0 every time I restart laptop, and so hiding the "Virus & Threat protection".What could be the reason?

    :)

    Windows 11 Home Virus and Threat Protection

    In Windows 11 Home Microsoft Defender my Virus and Threat Protection page says "Page Not Found". I have tried a complete refresh and I have checked the registry policies for Defender and I don't appear to have a rogue process. There are earlier suggestions on this site for fixes that don't seem to work anymore to re-enable Virus and Threat Protection on Windows 11 Home version. Would appreciate any assistance. Thanks, Judy

    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:
    Windows 11 Virus & Threat protection keeps hiding itself 400754d1700497172t-virus-threat-protection-missing-windows-11-a-screenshot-2023-11-20-161828.png
    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?
