Hi, I just saw this problem in another forum and the person who had the problem said to do the following , See if it helps you to.
1) Go to Start -> Run 2) Type in MSCONFIG and press enter 3) Under the 'BOOT' tab, tick the 'Safe Boot' box and select 'Minimal' 4) Press OK and proceed to restarting the computer when prompted 5) Once computer restarts log in and open Window Explorer 6) Navigate to your Windows directory and look for SoftwareDistribution folder 7) Rename this folder to SoftwareDistribution.old 8) Go back into MSCONFIG and turn off 'Safe Boot' and restart 9) Run Windows update again. SUMMARY: Windows has somehow managed to corrupt its own system files, possibly during one of its previous updates... Once you get the Windows update to work, you will notice that Windows Defender will start to work. HIH |

See if this will help . I also read somewhere it might have to do with your proxy setting , Were you messing around with that ?

i did the 4th instruction from microsoft which i think is th eonly one applicable to my problem but still no difference..
i don't know anything about modifying proxy server settings... but i did replaced my preferred and alternate dns with 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 but it didn't help me.. i also turned off my firewall.. |
