Can not install definition updates for WD

[Guest]

When I check for updates I get: Error found:Code 0x80070643. Can someone help
me.

Hello Alaskan,

Are you logged into the administrator account that installed Windows Defender?

Can you go to Windows Update, do an Express scan, and apply all offered
updªtes
http://update.microsoft.com

Are you on a large, managed network, where access to AutoUpdate is
restricted?

Is there a WSUS server on the network?

What version of WD are you now showing? Mine indicates
Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1593.0
Engine Version: 1.1.1904.0
Definition Version: 1.14.1941.7

Does that check out with you?

Yes--and it is likely that AutoUpdate will now function, assuming that is
turned on. AutoUpdate is the usual method of providing updates.
