I had a problem with my Windows Defender giving me the following error code: 0X80240022 when it tried to update. I was also unable to download updates for XP, and office through the browser.
To solve it I went to start> programs > administrative tools > services.
Then restarted both automatic updates and background intelligent transfer service. (right click them and choose restart).

Solved my problem. THANKS
Most other sites try to sell a registry cleaner.
I had to follow a different path to get, to services
start > control panel > administrative tools > services
Then do restarts.
