Windows Defender update
Having lots of failed updates for WD definitions, I went to control panel and opened WD. It said WD is up to date. I tried the update button anyway and it actually installed the latest definitions.

I've found a bug in Windows 10 & Windows Defender. I open up Windows Defender and update it. I close Windows Defender and open Windows Update to check for updates. It always redownloads updates for Windows Defender definitions again.
I am having issues with WD updates as well. I just update the program from the tray and do not use Windows Update. This probably will be fixed with the next build.
I'm personally not expecting it to be fixed anytime soon. Look at the bug for Mail, People & Calendar. It's existed in both build 10041 and 10049. Just like, I'm not expecting the final version of Windows 10 to be released to everyone until the 3rd Thursday of OctoberYou have to figure Windows 10 is being made for everything now. No more separate versions per device, so they say. They released the TP for pcs, laptops, etc. in October, yet Windows Phone user's didn't get a TP version until February. They should've released it for everything at the same time, especially considering phone's can't run desktop app's, like pc's, laptop's and some tablet's can.
Been like this since Win 7. Since def updates (security essentials in win 7) aren't really hotfixes or system patches, they don't register in the system as installed updates. So, when you update thru Defender UI, it works fine (faster, even), but "check for updates" will see it again and reload it. No harm done, just inconsistency between WU and Win Defender. Cheers!
I'm like Bunny (above) - lots of dups but it doesn't hurt anything, works fine so more of the same please
