    That's an awful lot of failed updates on the 13th of June.

    Can you check for an install Windows Updates again after a reboot and see if these install? If they fail, please open each and note the error received.

    Can you tell me what time zone you are in? The last post you made shows you posted at 7:55AM. I am in EDT, so that's my time. Your screen capture shows that you updated at 4:45 PM.

    I assume you are 9 hours ahead of EDT based on the above.

    It seems strange that you are getting a alert for definitions that are 2 days old. Can you open Windows Update History and tell me if you see any errors listed for Defender definition files?
