Can not open Admin Tools and Defender in Admin account
Hi
I tried to fix error message in Settings - Windows Update where it is saying in red fonts: Your insider preview build settings need attention. Go to Windows Insider Program to fix issue.
It showed up right after I visit Windows Insider Program in Settings. I have never used Insider build on this PC and I am not logged with Microsoft account. There is nothing to fix in WIP Settings. It is weird but anyway.. I jumped into different issue trying to solve this.
I tried Method 2 from this thread:

Basically stopped a few services, renamed folders and started services again.
However it didn't fix my problem and unfortunately added more.
After restart PC I immediately noticed popup error window with error code that Windows Defender can not start, I can not open it from Windows Settings either.
Plus, I can not open any Admin tools like Services etc, which I think is pretty serious. However I can open Services from Task Manager.
It shows a "modern" red error window and saying something like: This app has been blocked for your protection. Publisher not trusted. Contact Administrator.
I am logged as Admin. I tried different Admin account - didn't help.
sfc /scannow found violations but can not repair.
I tried DISM command but during boot it crashed to BSOD.
Is it repairable ? Everything else seems to be working fine.
Thanks in advance for your help.
(sry for my eng)
