Microsoft Defender error

[Jud McCranie]

I'm trying to get Windows Defender (beta 2) to work. When I tell it
to remove the bad items, it always gives an unexpected error
0x805800c. It says to run Windows Update, but I've done that and it
still has the same problem. IS this a known error (I searched for it
and didn't find it)? How can I fix it?

Actual error message:
Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x8050800c. An unexpected
problem occurred. Install any available updates, and then try to
start the program again. (to check for updates, click Start, click
All Program, and then click Windows Update.)

Thank you, I was unaware of that.
