The link is as follows:
32-bit
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._ffe87b3035ea92aaab35b88712da2d55e08c01c0.exe

Size is only 1.4 MB, and it will not trigger a system restore point
[As of this moment: (11:31am CDT USA)
the "pushed" version and the portal version are in sync ]

As always, if you need the Full Engine and Full Defs update
[for example after a new install/reinstall of Defender]
you can get it at the Microsoft Malware Protection Center:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/
https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Definitions/ADL.aspx
The full MPAS-FE is currently 11.6 MB

First I would recommend logging off and restarting your computer.
I recommend waiting a full 2 minutes before logging back in.

Check the WD Engine version again.

If it is not correct I Do NOT Recommend running the update again.

Instead go to the malware protection center and download the Full
MPAS-FE appropriate to your system.
https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Definitions/ADL.aspx
It is somewhat large, about 12 MB, but will replace the Entire engine
[and Defs Database] with a fresh copy instead of just updating it.

Run the MPAS-FE and check your version again.

=======
If this works you should be set.
If you are running Automatic Updates it should kick with the next update
between Thursday morning and Friday afternoon.

If you are not using AU updates you can Visit the WU/MU site and check
manually or run "Check for Updates" in the WD GUI, otherwise there
should be a new Delta Update Link [probably just for the defs] on
Thursday about noon.
=======

If this has not worked there might be other problems in play.
What is your OS? XP, Vista, Win7 is it 32 or 64 bit ?
[if you don't know what "32 or 64 bit" means you are probably 32 bit]
Are you running the files while logged in as an Administrator or with
Administrator privileges?

Good Luck,
Let us know what happens.

Tim,
regarding AU, I have it set to notify me when they're available. I usually
review them
upon notification and download immediately. In this instance, the
definitions were updated
but the engine didn't. (I'm running XP/sp3).
Based on your advice, I downloaded the full version below, stopped WD and
ran the
the full version. Now, upon opeming WD I see engine and defs are as they
should be

I didn't know it was unwise to run the update version a second time, and
indeed I did so earlier.
(It didn't resolve the problem)

I had a problem some months back where even the definitions wouldn't update.
Even the
manually downloaded updates wouldn't update it. In that case, I had to
uninstall/reinstall
the product to get it to start working again.

Thanks for your help -
Dave H.
