Have you tried a reboot?
After that when you try again, it should be resolved.
EDIT: you tried a reboot already, what happens if you try updating through Microsoft Defender itself?

HI, Champ type this in the search bar cmd run it as admin when open type this in it: ( sfc /scannow ) Don't include brackets. When it is completed it will tell you if it has found corruption and it will repair it automatically all required of you is to reboot if corruption is found. when finish check back in and let me know.

Hi @Gandalf_The_Grey and thank you so much for responding, when I look at Microsoft Defender it says it is updated 10 minutes ago, I do not understand?:unsure:
