I believe that this error usually indicates a problem connecting to the
Microsoft Windows Update servers. This can be caused by a corporate
firewall, or a situation where a corporate lan uses SUS or WSUS to
distribute Microsoft updates, and has chosen not to carry Windows Defender
definitions.
Does any of that seem to fit? Is this a home machine? Has it ever been
joined to a domain?
