Manually install the update definitions.

I would advise you to clear your cache, cookies, and history, as this will reduce scanning times by security software, press Ctrl-Shift-Delete – then shut down and restart your computer.

Go to-Get the latest definitions - Manually download the latest updates*<==***

Switch back to Windows Defender and note the error code on the Home page. ***==>***If the error message that you received in Windows Defender contains code 0x80240016, restart your computer. ***<==***If the error message that you received in Windows Defender does not contain 0x80240016, go to Step 2.
