I have been trying to open File Explorer, but I am greeted with a blank white page.
So I thought of going to Control Panel and see if something helps there. But when I open it, the same another blank page.
So i thought some malware must be there and went to Windows Defender buy instead I get greeted with a message saying "this app can't open. A problem with windows is preventing windows security from openeing. Refreshing your PC might help"
Then, I tried resetting (by keeping my files in other drives as I don't have a backupexternal drive)
But the same problem persists.
I attached the photos of the same.
Please help me with this.

None of your images are showing in the thread -- they are all blank.
See if this thread helps: https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/35424-windows-10-cant-open-file-explorer-control-panel.htm...
Good Luck
