Windows Defender Error: 0×8024402c

Windows Defender Error: 0×8024402c I am working on a Vista machine for a client, and was trying to update things - the firewall was turned off, windows update hadn’t been run in a while, etc. Windows Defender was complaining about not updating for the last 8 months, and currently giving me an error of 0×8024402c. I searched around on the internet, and found people talking about uninstalling defender, restarted the BITS service, running windows update manually, etc. None of that worked -
