Windows Defender Won't Update

[Guest]

Hello,

I have Windows Defender installed, and also automatic updates is configured
to tell me when updates are available, but not to download them. With
Windows Defender now installed, once the update is downloaded, automatic
updates keep telling me there are updates available, but the updates that are
shown have the same reference number (e.g. k79024129727) as the one I had
just downloaded.

Why does the same update continually pop up, and is Windows Defender getting
updated?

Thanks

Your suggestion does not cover what happens when automatic updates are
handled in a network environment via WSUS.

Sure, I can address Microsoft Updates manually, but that will not solve
the
problem. As is, Windows Defender REFUSES to update when you elect that
option
- PERIOD. You get a soft click and then NOTHING. Any suggestions - or is
that
still something to be resolved sometime in the future?

Thanks much

Correct. In that environment, the WSUS administrator needs to enable the
new class of updates for Windows Defender signatures. This class has been
available since January 16th.
