Windows 10: You'll need a new app to open this windowsdefender link

Hi,


I have connected 2 new PC's and 1 laptop to an exsisting AD.

When I log in with a non-admin domain account the store is not available as are the 'basic' windows 10 apps. windowsdefender, calculator, etc

I can see the Windows defender shield icon next to the clock but clicking it to open it gives the error message as seen in the subject.

Using the calculator shortcut on the keyboard gives the same message but with calculator instead of windowsdefender.


I found a couple of tips which did not solve the issue.

1. typing the following in an elevated powershell.

Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode “C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppXManifest.xml”

2. using the cortana workarround.

I managed to make the apps available on 1 of the devices by resetting/reinstalling windows.

It did not work on the other PC and also not on the laptop

When Logged in as local admin or domain admin the previously mentioned apps are all available and running properly.



Device information:

PC:

Dell OptiPlex 3080@ Windows 10 Pro 20H2

laptop:

Dell Vostro 3500@ Windows10 Pro 20H2

Windows Security error message "You'll need a new app to open this windowsdefender link"

Hello,

I've just gotten a brand new Acer laptop running Windows 10 Home (OS Build 18362.267), and I'm getting the error message "You'll need a new app to open this windowsdefender link" when I try to click on any options in the Windows Security page in Settings
(Open Windows Security, Virus & threat protection, Account protection, etc.). It gives me the option to look for an app in the Microsoft Store, but there's no app listed when I do that.

Any idea how to fix this?
