Im trying to install windows Defender on Server 2016
If i add via the Add features it fails with "the reference assembly could not be found error 0x80073701"

I try with DSIM and get the following

C:\Installs\MS Defender> Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:Windows-Defender
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.14393.4169
Image Version: 10.0.14393.4169
Enabling feature(s)
[==========================100.0%==========================]
Error: 14081
The referenced assembly could not be found.

So i scan the health which advises it is repairable

PS C:\Installs\MS Defender> DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /Scanhealth
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.14393.4169
Image Version: 10.0.14393.4169
[==========================100.0%==========================] The component store is repairable.

Then run the repair which fails

PS C:\Installs\MS Defender> DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.14393.4169
Image Version: 10.0.14393.4169
[==========================100.0%==========================]

I specify the source and it stil fails

Tried a sfc /scannow and reboot

Thanks
