Windows Defender issue

The program keeps telling me there are updates, downloads and installs them,
but then keeps repating this process with exactly same files, ad nauseam.
The icon on the tray also displays the orange circle with the exclamation bar
all the time.

Is there a way out of this short of uninstalling defender?

Thanks

Sandy

Since this is not a simple one sentence answer you should do as Malke
suggests. There has been volumes of discussion on just this very subject.
