I have recently installed windows defender on my computer. I have seen some
postings giving some advice as to why it will not update. I have turned off
my firewall because someone suggested I do so. Obviously it did not work.
Any other suggestions.
 
Hello Chris,
Have a look at this article. It may be relevant to your problem.

Unfortunately, no: even when Windows update says it has successfully updated
it may not have done. You need to check in event viewer/applications to see
whether the update was actually installed. If it was not installed you will
see an error log reated to MSInstaller (as well as a related info log);
double click on the error log to open its properties box and it will tell you
in the description section that the install of the update failed. If the
install was successful, you'll see two information logs, for one one of which
the properties will say the update was successfully installed.
