    Group policy anti virus update


    Hello all,

    All my PC have group policy set to warn about updates but never download them automatically.
    I noticed that Windows Defender anti virus definitions are also considered as 'updates' and all my PCs are notifying of AV updates daily.

    I was wondering if there is a way to tell Windows to go ahead and update the Antivirus definitions automatically while still notifying for any other available update.

    Any ideas? I can see some update options for Windows Defender in the group policy, I am wondering which one has priority - the Windows Update policy or the Windows Defender one.

    Thanks
    Tony
