Windows 10: Windows defender engine unavailable

I have recently reset my pc. There was some corrupted files in windows. After reset, I've done all the basic updated needed. I also uninstalled Norton security which is pre-installed in the system. I wanted to try windows defender. But I can't update it or do a quick scan with it. It says Engine is unavailable. Can someone please help!?
