This is an issue affecting some devices after upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10.

The problem occurs when you right-click the Windows Security (shield) icon on the taskbar and try to open the following options:
◉ View notification options
◉ View security dashboard
The result is a pop-up saying "You'll need a new app to open this windowsdefender link" -which leads to a "No results found" message.

In this video I will demonstrate the problem and the fix.

The Powershell (make sure to use - run as Administrator) command is:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage

Once the command has completed, simply close the Powershell window and try right-clicking on the taskbar Windows Security icon and both options should now work.
