If you have disabled either of the two following Windows Services then you will get the Update Error as shown below
This is the screen that you will see when Windows Defender tries to update the defintions file
You can enable both of these using the services.msc from the command prompt or use this TWEAK from my Sky Drive
YOU WILL NEED TO RESTART YOUR PC AFTER YOU IMPORT THE TWEAK TO LET THESE SERVICES START AUTOMATICALLY
If access to Windows Update has been disabled in the registry then you will need to use THIS tweak to ensure that you can prevent the 0x80070422 error
If all else fails then you can always download the latest defintion file mpas-fe.exe from the windows website HERE
