Hi,

I'm having issues with some VMs where Defender setup is messed up and unsure how to restore it. Windows update fails to update Defender.

The registry install points to: Platform\4.18.2001.7-0\ folder and the entire Platform folder was missing. User created the Platform folder and tried copying a newer platform folder renamed as 4.18.2001.7-0 but the folder is protected and I'm unable to copy to it. Running KB4052623 manually does nothing. I was told removing the role and readding it didn't clear the issue.(I'm yet to see the proof of that).

Any ideas how to tackle this? Is there an MS repair utility that I could use and that I don't know about ?

Dism does nothing.

Issue is basically same as here: [SOLVED] - Windows Server 2016 failing updates error 0x80246002
User stated that he just copied the files but did not specify how.
