Both my PC got this error and stopped Windows Defender work as well did not do any Windows Updates anymore and does more weird stuff to any other Victims of this update.

You can simply uninstall KB 3004394 as it is not an essential update - after that Windows Update does work again (but restart your PC first) and you have to restart Windows Defender from the System Menu as well (i had to unchec/check the Checkbox in the "Extras" Settings of the Windows Defender to make it start with the PC.

Just an update so people wouldn't get scared by this info. Microsoft released a fix to this with another patch and this new patch removes the old patch that could cause problems. Update to the latest patch(es) and the problem is solved.
