system preferences is composed of a collection of mini-applications that are loaded on demand into System preferences to provide the functions you need.


If your security & Privacy is not loading, your copy of MacOS may be damaged, or you may have added third-party software that creates a conflict.


Try restating in Safe Mode, and see if it can be invoked from Safe Mode. No third-party add-ons are included in Safe Mode.
