Error 0x8024402c -> WD was not able to complete the update

[Guest]

Does anybody in the world know how to solve this problem?

Except for buying a really working commercial antispy software...

Hello Teamplay,

Whatever you do, (installing and updateting or unistalling) always as a
adinistrator.

Can you gº to Windows Update, select Express (Get high-priority updates),
and apply all offered updªtes
http://update.microsoft.com

Once that is finished, can you verify the update installs?

There are many pre-requisite files which are needed from windows update and
signature update with windows defender will fail until you hªve these files.

Latest version is as follows:
WD v. 1.1.1347.0
Engine v. 1.1.1440.0
Signature v. 1.14.1459.12

Or have a look at this article. It may be relevant to your prºblem.

Hello Engel,

YES! This was the key!
The installation as an admin was not enough.
I needed to login as an admin.

Can you gº to Windows Update, select Express (Get high-priority updates),
and apply all offered updªtes

YES! The same error message came after the installation again.
But after running update from the site you mentioned everything was OK.

THANK YOU!

Regards

teamplay,

this is only temporary. Windowsupdate gave you the Defender updates, but
next time Defender realizes there has been a sig file update, it will try to
update and fail again.
I'm averaging about once a week of having to go to windowsupdate to get
defender updates so that it will shut up.

Still can't get tool to update itself. See seperate post.
