Hi, security app in Windows 11 is not supported on public version, but I added the support this week and it will be released in next patch so security app can be properly deleted/restored.
privacy.sexy version that's up now can only delete and restore security app for Windows 10. So privacy.sexy did not delete your security app because it's unable to do so for Windows 11. There are two options
On Windows 10, this package is named Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI
, on Windows 11 it's named Microsoft.SecHealthUI
. When you run revert code for Windows 10 version, it tries the locate that package that does not exist in W11 and show error, but this is OK and expected.
The code I share now is from the latest version of privacy.sexy, that's not yet released but you can build it from source code if you wish. This will remove and restore both W10 and W11 apps. It will first show the error for W10 app because it will not find it on your system (just like in your screenshot), and it's OK. It will then try to restore W11 security app which is relevant for you.
This is what you're looking for:
Gotcha, it is quite possible i ran one of the below tools i think i ran this one https://github.com/ionuttbara/windows-defender-remover or https://github.com/LeDragoX/Win-Debloat-Tools
more likely the first one but i've noticed that it seems to remove/disable stuff at the surface while the backend is still active type of thing.
ive since reinstalled windows and took a more methodical approach as the first go around i didn't keep track of what scripts i used :P. i've avoided disabling the winsec ui etc and everything seems to be working well so far.
Thank you for the context @boredchilada. Windows 11 app removal/revert is added in 0.12.9 🚀 Let me know if you encounter anything else in future.
