You might try searching this newsgroup for error "0x80072f8f".
For instance, Tom "Sky" King says to try this:

From the many other posts here, it appears that the fix is to open a CMD
window, then correct the date and time for the system. At the C:\ prompt
just enter "date" and then "time" and enter the correct information (I'd
suggest you enter the info even if it appears correct).

Note that I haven't seen this issue, so am just reporting what others here
have given as a likely fix.

Hello Alshig,

Please go to Windows Update, do an express scan, and apply all offered
updates.
http://update.microsoft.com
See whether that gets you current---then, within Windows Defender, go to
Help, about, and hit Check for Updates. Do you still get the error message?

For the benefit of the community reading this post, please rate the pºst.

I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.
