Help - Windows defender virus definition update fails
For the past day, I've been trying to install the Defender virus
definitions, and it fails. Download appears successful; however, it fails once it tries to install the definitions. The fail message gives error code 80070714, but the troubleshooting wizard references "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" and "Windows Update". I try repairing, but it reports the problem "service registration is missing or corrupt". That entry give NO further info to fix that issue. Google leads were not helpful either. This problem only started about three days ago (1/20/2016). Everything was working as expected with no problems before my most recent update. I successfully installed the updates from the monthly thing that Microsoft puts out. I do manually update Windows Update. I have not installed or had reason to update any other software (Microsoft or others) in the meantime. Is this a bug in Microsoft's update? Are other people having this problem now? Did MS change its update prolicy that started causing the update to fail? I'm running Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit. I have not moved to Windows 10 yet nor have any immediate plan or desire to do so. I've disabled the GXW (sp?) to turn off MS' nagging. Note that my doing that (over a month ago) did not interfere with my doing Windows updates. Thanks. |

I don't know and I might be wrong, but I think that disabling updates and keep using Windows Defender at the same time is not a good idea. That's why I disabled Defender and use a third-party AV. |

Thanks. http://www.askvg.com/how-to-update-w...iles-manually/ -- http://www.askvg.com/official-links-...ssentials-mse/ Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) updates its virus definitions using Windows Automatic Update. We can also use its built-in command "MpCmdRun" to download and install virus definition updates without Automatic Update. Following are official download links to download MSE virus definition updates: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87342 (x86 32 bit) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87341 (x64 64 bit) Now, even if those aren't exactly applicable, the implication is that there are mechanisms that don't need a working wuauserv or bits service. You would try "mpcmdrun /?" to get a list of command line parameters to use with it. This page has some more up-to-date looking links for Windows Defender standalone updates. I clicked the 64 bit one, and the initial download information indicated the same file size (132MB). So the file is likely the same as the two above. At least in this case, you can verify before you click, that these are the correct ones :-) https://www.microsoft.com/security/p...tions/adl.aspx Paul |
