My details are:
Windows Defender Version : 1.1.1051.0
Engine Version : 1.1.1303.0
Signature Version : 1.14.1361.6

I'm asking this because Defender keeps saying that it's 14 days it hasn't
been updated, but when I click update it says that there are none!!

Any suggestions would be grateful!!
Best Wishes

PS HAPPY EASTER!!! OR HOLIDAY

Thanks for your quick reply....
Following your first step of your advice (and it was the first step I only
did) I now have the following :
Windows Defender Version : 1.1.1051.0
Engine Version : 1.1.1303.0
Signature Version : 1.14.1395.2

I have activated the automatic update. Will this new defender version come
through this? Or can it come from the update when I click on help and update
in the defender?

Updates do come by auto-update. You can just leave it alone, and as long as
auto-update is working, they should come in and be auto-installed. There
are some issues of the time updates are set to install, and whether you
always run as a limited user, but eventually they should install even under
the most limiting circumstances.

Going to Tools, check for updates, essentially triggers the autoupdate
mechanism--it takes time, and there's no progress indicator except that you
should get two balloon messages--one at the start of the update process and
another when it completes. If balloon messages have been turned off, you
won't get any activity indicator unless the version number changes in the
home page of the program.

You can also go to Windows Update or Microsoft Update, and get the
definitions manually--or, depending on timing, they may come in that way
rather than AutoUpdate if you have gone there looking for some other update.
