I did as you suggested, but when I click on Check for Updates it gives me
this error:
80070422 and it won't download any update....
I also tried to re-instal my antivirus software because it gave me a problem
too, and I though it was related to my Defender problem.
But even if I tried with 4 different antivirus programs, the installing
procedure stops half.way...
It's a mess, my PC is completely vulnerable and nothing works.... :-(
Thanks again (and forgive my mistakes, English is not my language....)
