Windows 10: Update and windows defender security blocked

Good morning

I can not unlock the windows update, and consequently also the windows defender security block.The last update is 03/02/2019 from there it is blocked everything.I also tried to follow the guides but do not unlock nothing, and it's the second time that happens to me. My notebook is an MSI with 16 GB of RAM, and I really do not understand why this problem happens and how to remedy it. As I understand it does not even know the developers microsoft, but one thing I know and is that this window 10 is really the worst operating system I've had.

The update error message is this:


"There were some problems installing updates, but a further attempt will be made later. If the message appears again and you want to search for more information on the Web or contact technical support, this can be useful: (0x80070424)"

Thanks a lot

Windows Defender is blocking too much saying it viruses

Hi Sam,

Based on the screenshot that you've provided, Controlled Folder Access is turned on, blocking most apps that you're using. We suggest that you turn it off to allow blocked apps in Windows Defender. Follow the steps below:

• Select Start > Settings.
• Choose Update & security > Windows Defender.
• Select Open Windows Defender Security Center.
• Select Virus & threat protection, and then choose Virus & threat protection settings.
• Under Controlled folder access, turn it on or off.
• Once done, try accessing the apps and see if you can now access them.

Should you need further assistance, feel free to post back.

Hi Aeolus0,



You can add allowed folder or apps in the Windows Defender Controlled Folder Access, as it basically blocks almost every changes when it is turn on. You may try to follow these steps to add allowed apps:

• Click the Virus & threat protection settings.
• Click Allow an app through Controlled folder access.
• Select Add an allowed app, navigate and select the app you want to add, select Open then click Yes.
• You might be prompted a UAC to continue.
• You can click the Remove button if you want to remove the added app.
• Close the Windows Defender windows.

On the other hand, if you want to allow a blocked app in Windows Defender Security Center, you may check this

Are you running any other AV or did you have one running in the past? If you didn't use an uninstaller for the AV, then the remnants of it could be causing the problem. Normally any time you install an AV it disables Defender by default.

If you are getting any error codes please list those, that will be helpful in helping you.

As torre suggested, might be a good idea to do a reset or even a reinstall.
