I was trying to do the suggested workaround which was uninstall the January cumulative update but my system won't allow me to uninstall cumulative updates. I'm not a total novice but I don't understand how they give this as a workaround when uninstalling them isn't allowed. What am I doing wrong?
I was never able to install the Cumulative Update through Windows Update, This was on a fairly fresh Windows installation on a Surface Book 2. I was able to install it with the standalone installer, however. See Knowledge Base article and download link.
Same problem for me. I uninstalled it and windows defender is starting properly again.
Well, I am a paid client of their Microsoft Answer desk and it isn't helping me out with this issue. Microsoft, are you reading this???
It happens on a fresh setup on the surface book 2.
Couldn't get help from MSFT even after trying for hours as well.
Even worse -- they dared to suggest their paid tech support.
