Hi,

I have just installed Windows Defender on my PC at work and I tried to
update the definition files but I get the following message:

Windows Defender was unable to complete the update: 0x8024002b.

Please can someone help with resolving this.
 
One thing that is worth trying is to go to Internet Explorer, tools,
internet options, connections tab. Press either LAN or the button next to
the dialup connection, and choose "Always detect" for the proxy settings.

If "always detect" is checked,. try unchecking that.

I don't think this is a universal solution, but these two variants have
worked on two systems I worked with.
