sorry for such a delayed reply.

 

By chance, do you have an antivirus on the computer?

[Jo-Ann]

yes I do ...... Frontier Secure I pay for this one it is not a free one.

[Juliet]

0x80070652 error is usually associated with a failed windows update.

By having another antivirus installed on your computer, by design, windows defender is disabled.

 

no idea if your trying to update by windows updates so, if you temporarily disable Frontier Secure and try updating again it might work.

 

Also, windows has a troubleshooting page.

I had a similar problem last year and found that there were "duplicate user profile keys" in the registry for a program I had installed. For some reason, it prevented updates (i.e., caused them to fail). Deleting the duplicates solved the problem, but it's a risky business. I wish you well.

Thank you both I followed the link above that Juliet posted and I just followed all instruction to the T and all better.

Back to normal. W Defender finally updated and did the scan and said I was normal

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I'll say this though, having multiple, active antivirus progs is NEVER a good idea. Since you're paying for Frontier's solution, stick with it and don't worry with Defender.

What is considered an AV program? If I am using windows built-in defender and some Ccleaner + anti-malware it's okay, or too much?

Defender that comes bundled w/ Win10 and Win 8.x is a full fledged AV. It's effective and will provide adequate protection. Layered protection, the route you're using has always been the general "best practices" for keeping your pc clean and protected. A word of caution, you need to ensure only ONE of your security products is running a "real-time" agent, otherwise they'll compete for resources and in the end, result in a less secure pc.
