It seems like they are being downloaded more frequently than every 8 hours? Or is that just showing the times they became available when it checks on the 8th hour and it grabs them all? Or maybe I'm just confused lol.
No it shows the actual time of the update. The setting we altered in Windows Defender does update every 8 hours and picks up the latest update, if available.
If in the meantime, Microsoft pushes an update, or yours truly presses "Check for updates", in WU and one is found, then it is installed.
The setting just makes sure, that at least 3 (in my case) updates are installed. If more are pushed by Microsoft that's OK too.
This is the actual script.Get-InstalledUpdates.ps1
It contains two Options:
Option 1, gets the updates from the Windows Update database.
Option 2, gets the updates from the Event logs.
It compares the two and outputs whichever has the most complete list.
