Hey guys,

I have the same problem as lot´s of people here. I´m not able to install and use Defender due to an error during the installation ...
I post the CBS.log and DISM.log.

This server is our Citrix Master Imager and we need to switch from Crowdstrike to Defender ...

Could somebody help me ?
