windows defender update

Every time windows defender updates it says it failed - code 0x800736B1
What can I do to make it except the update?

Can you update manually by downloading definition updates via the right-hand
menu here? =>

This application has failed to start because the application configuration
is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Same basic problem with same error code. Manually downloaded the definition
update and let it run. Guess is that it ran but never told me anything - ok,
error, or whatever. R0x800736B1 an Windows Update again to see if it still
said I needed the update. Yup. Told it to install it. (Didn't need download,
alreadh on pc.) FAILED again.


0x800736B1 code is not very informative. Best I can guess reading through
various forums is a .dll file (or files?) may be missing - no clue just what.

Help!

I doubt it. Where did you get that idea?

<cmd_output OS="XPsp3">
E:\>set /a c = 0x36B1
14001
E:\>net helpmsg %c%

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
</cmd_output>

BTW I only recently installed WD, so that may be why I can see that message.
I was actually expecting that it would be an unknown message number. ; )

Did uninstall of Defender, then reinstalled. Problem no longer exists -
unless next update fails with same/similar error code. Will open new thread
if that occurs.
