Windows Defender Beta 2

Everytime I run a scan this message keeps coming up.

Windows defender encounted an error, ox80501001 one or more actions could not be completed successfully.

Can this be resolved ?

Many thanks

A search of the microsoft site for error, will find many have encountered the same problem. First I found that might be the problem.

This error will occur if a threat is detected inside of a container such as a ZIP file, RAR archive, etc.

The "remove" action cannot (in most cases) be applied to an object inside of
such containers, without deleting the entire container.

It might be worth noting that the original Antispyware beta did not have the
ability to scan inside such containers.

Resolved by manual removal of the containing file, or remove the files within archive causing the problem. You may also get the problem if running another anti-virus program, which moved infected files into a protected quarantine area. View the logs for the object causing the problem.
