in attempting to run windows defender offline for a windows 8.1 PC I received a message saying" the app requires up-to-date virus and spyware definitions". When

...I click update it says connection failed.

...and I can't run the scan. What is going on?

error code 0x80072ee7

There's no issue with Internet or network connection.

To run defender 8.1 offline, the bios has to be set to <standard> boot to startup from the USB only...
