If the Windows Security not opening error appears after you have downloaded a file or installed an app, there is a high chance that the Windows Security app conflicts with that file or application. Hence, we recommend that you uninstall the recently installed application and delete the file downloaded right away!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if nothing works, you have no option other than resetting your PC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How Can you Stay Protected if Windows Security is Not Opening<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fixes mentioned above should help you out.
