I just realised that Windows Defender is turned off for some reason. I don't know when it turned off because when I installed Windows 11 it was working fine.
Windows Security is blank:
The service for it is also stopped and cannot be started.

Also this is what the service looks like when I immediately check after I start my PC (it says starting) but after I refresh the "Starting" disappears and when I click on properties it says stopped. So it tries to start but somehow fails??

Should I be worried and should I look for some sort of a solution (I already tried the PowerShell method) or will an update fix it in the future?
 
I wouldn’t keep using it I would make sure your data is backed up and I would fresh install windows
