Today, I attempted to update the program using the Defender update program
button and received what I believe to be the same error code/message that I
mentioned in yesterday's posting - "...Defender was unable to complete
update: 0x80240016. The device does not recognize the command". I
immediately closed that message box and re-did the update and received the
message that all was updated and nothing needed to be updated. Like I said
earlier, makes no sense to me....
