Hello dbaron99. By chance did you have / do you still have a trial version of ANY antiviral software that came on the computer? Is Windows 11 running in S mode? Are you logging into the computer under an admin account?

You may need to perform a removal of Norton using the Norton removal tool, reboot and reinstall your Norton product. Making sure you run live updates to get all the latest updates.
