RE: Windows Defender

Hello ET,

Please confirm your system clock and Time Zone also the Date set properly,
Having it set incorrectly can cause this type of behavior.

What is the exact error messªge?

What error do you see in "%Windir%\WindowsUpdate.log". Right after you try
to update. Please copy & paste the las 30-40 lines.

Any clues in the System events log you can see?

During the scans was anything detected and removed or quarantined?

What changed in your system shortly before the problem occurred? Knowing
about a setting change or added software or hardware may be helpful in
solving the problem.
