    Your computer and the service don't need to have an identical date and time, but if they vary too much it will prevent you from checking for updates. The following steps are the most common solutions for this error code.

    First, verify that the time, date/year & time-zone are set correctly

    Reboot if you changed any of the above.

    Try executing the following command : "%programfiles%\windows defender\mpcmdrun.exe" -signatureupdate -http
