Windows 10: Microsoft Defender 101.70.18 Problem on MacOS 12.4

For the second time in a month, I've had Defender behave very strangely, where it tries to install an update, it can't successfully install it, then it won't let me restart the machine. I did a hard reset so my machine would launch, and it functions, but Defender does not. When I launch it manually, after some time, I get:If I do an update on my O365 installation, it sees that Defender is out of date and tries to update to 101.70.19, but it fails too:

You're not alone.

Quite a few users on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 are reporting the same.

Microsoft has to fix it...

Doing a custom scan should still work....

Printing Issues 12" x 18" Paper

Good Afternoon,

New to Windows 10. in the past I could print on 12" x 18" paper and with 10 I don't seem to be able to do that. Can you suggest what I can do to fix this problem?

Thanks

Karen
