[ANSWERED] Windows Defender - "Your IT admin only has limited power on this app"
I can't use any of Windows Defender's features because it says an error when I try to run a scan or do something else. The message reads: "Page not available: Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available. Contact IT helpdesk for more information." This problem started only after I reset my Windows 11 installation back to factory settings.
