Windows 10 Update March 31 2017
-
Greece, 23:00 local time, the problem still exists. Started yesterday.
Although Defender can be successfully updated though its GUI, Windows Update fails with the Error 0x80070643.
sfc /scannow found no errors, whereas Windows Update Troubleshooter did find and fixed some errors, without resolving this issue.
I guess we wait.....

Just FYI, and I know you're gonna love to hear this, the GUI....the nice one with the green border??.....is going away in Creators Update. At least it has in the latest and greatest Insider build 15063.11. Actually went away a few builds back. Sometimes it can be coaxed back, but don't expect it for much longer.

Just found a new update and it failed too. So apparently MS is still pumping out the updates that refuse to install with WU. Very smart... NOT.

@f14tomcat, Thanx for the info....although I would like to know, once the "nice one with green border" goes away how we will do the little things, like scan on demand, exclude/include folders/files etc.

It's all in here. The new Windows Defender Security Center. Too many screens to post, but here's the first, and the one about exclusions and all that stuff.

Blimey, MS not having a good run at the mo. I wonder if it is anything to do with the version of Windows. I am not seeing this issue on either of my machines but they are both running .969 as opposed to .970

Good idea. But not right I have two 970 and one 969 Problem still exists exactly the same on all three. It's getting annoying now, clearly world wide. BTW now it is GMT 8:15 AM (4:15 PM in Japan where I'm living currently.)
It's been just about 3 days now.
Sure, if we remember to manually update Defender, then run WU so it says, "Up to date." after updating defender manually there is no harm that I can imagine. But many people don't have a clue about this. Sure enough, my wifes laptop I checked a few hours ago. No update and loads of error messages since March 30 late (Japan time) There is no way she would have known. Like literally millions of others who 100% rely on MS automation.
This doesn't bode well for up coming Creators update, if those folks at MS can't even fix this! In three days and counting. Actually I'm quite appualed by this because of the time line. Stuff happens, but shouldn't take days to fix one simple but major security flaw. Bad. Very bad indeed. And just when I thought MS were starting to get things together, this in excuse able incompetence occurs. Apologies guys, for the mini rant, I'm a feeling annoyed about this now and need a beer.
Finally, this thread has been a big source of relieve for me with plenty of people updating status regularly. This is a good forum. Thank you to all who posted status and ideas. Keep em coming!!
