Running windows 11 and tried this software. It only removed all access to the windows defender settings and removed the pin login so I had to reset windows

Yeah, this is very true. I used this program after getting fed up and annoyed that Defender kept quarantining research files and tools that I use in my different lines of work. Windows Defender Remover did everything but remove Windows Defender. I'm trying to figure out if I need to reinstall Windows because that would be a HUGE pain in the ass for me given all the programs and things I have and would need to reconfigure and set up again. The undo/restore feature does not work, and I'm left trying to figure out what files it deleted. Right now Windows Updates is completely broken, Windows Store, Firewall, I was able to get the last two working, but Updates is still completely broken after resetting Services, registry entries, multiple SFC and DISM's.
