Updates repeating

[Guest]

The automatic updates get installed succesfully over and over agian?
Any solution to this?

Follow these steps, even though the original cause of the problem appears
not to apply.

I just tried this and when I run the msiexec, it returns an error:

"The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the
source exists and that you can access it. "

The signature file is still not updating and the "Updates are Ready to
install" icon returned to the tray.

What next?

I got the same as Joel.
What worked for me was to run the Windows Install(er) Clean Up Utility
(available from MSFT) and remove the entry for Windows Defender Signatures.
Then, updating from WU or AU will fail, but updating from within Windows
Defender will succeed.

Glad to hear it.

I'm with MyronJM:

Windows Installer Cleanup tool:

You should be able to find the signature update listed in that, and remove
it. Then try the update from with Windows Defender--help, about, check for
updates.
