Windows Security updates failing
Anyone else seeing Windows Security (aka: Windows Defender) definition updates failing when updating via Windows Update?
According to the WU's update history, WD update KB2267602 v1.339.26.0 has failed to install 6 times today on my Win 10 Pro, 20H2, desktop.
When I try to install the update manually, it starts to download the update, gets to ~50% downloaded and then errors out with:
"There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070643)"
After rebooting the PC, I still see the same error message, even with no other apps open, aside from those that are normally loaded during boot...

@Eaglehawk_Computers - Misery loves company!
Booted my PC this AM and manually ran WU to check for updates. It said: "Up to date".
I checked the Win 10 Reliability Monitor and it logged another failure for KB2267602 v1.339.26.0 again this morning at 10:09 AM, but followed that with: KB 2267602 v1.339.75.0 was successfully installed at 10:10 AM.
I assume .75.0 includes all the updates that were in .26.0 so the problem should be side-stepped.
Just makes me wonder what's going on at Microsoft, this time...??
EDIT: This morning's error code is 0x8024200B, which is different from the error code yesterday...
