I wonder if anyone else has noticed that there have been no updates to Windows Defender since Version 1.221.14.0 created at 4:28 PM May 19 2016? I have used Defender (currently on 5 machines) for several years and there have always been several updates daily and now there hasn't been one for nearly 48 hours. All 5 of my machines come back "No Updates Available" when checking for updates.
Anyone have an update later?
Same here. I even went to the Microsoft Malware Protection Center and that's the latest update available for Windows 10. When this happened with Windows 7 it usually resulted in a major version update.
Same here on XP. Glad it's not me. When they pulled the updates for a week around 4/14/16 I was doing manual def installs.
I believe that one time I got the wrong one for my OS & I believe it changed a system file or 2. Everything works except 1 security program, a component of Greatis Reg Run.
They've really tried to help, but the few suggestions caused more problems, so...................
Same here: Defender refuses to start, dead. My last update is 2 days ago: 1.221.14.0.
Try this web site but its not working: Download Windows Defender Definition Updates - MajorGeeks
Interesting. I really wish I hadn't done those manual updates in April. I only got 1 bad one, but that'sall it took.
MSE/Windows 7 has been the same for 2 days.
I just checked and MSE updated but only the date changed not the update version. (1.221.14.0)
That is the first time the date has changed in two days and I check for updates 2 or 3 times every day.
I just checked mine after seeing this thread, it was two days old on definitions, I updated and got these just now,
