I'm using Windows 8 on Dell XPS 12 convertible.

"Windows Defender can not be updated for some unknown reason. the message reads: "Windows defender couldn't download definition updates. This migfht be caused by a missing system file, an incorrect system setting, or a problem with a registry file"

 

I've tried everything from different threads including http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/windows-error-code-8024402f-windows-update/d675d686-277d-4fcb-a588-229aa36bedc5 but still problem persisting. I tried to update

manually, but it returns NSIS error of currupt file. 

 

When I tried to update windows defender through windows update, it is downloading 100% but suddenly returns the following error:

Code 80246002 Windows update ran into a problem

 

Can someone please help?
