After about a month of trying everything and anything I randomly read this splunk doc:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Security/HowtoprepareyoursignedcertificatesforSplunk
Replace latest with Splunk version being used and read about certificate chaining:
[ server certificate]
[ intermediate certificate]
[ root certificate (if required) ]
I went here:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA_windows-defender/bin/ta_windows_defender/requests/
It turns out that TA_windows_defender needed my root certificate appended to the cacerts.pem .
I suggest backing your certs up, and then append with a command that works:
cat org.pem >> cacaerts.pem
If it looks correct restart splunk . I hope you had the same issue and it is fixed.
Happy Splunking!
