Windows 10: Antimalware Platform for Windows Defender update

The antimalware platform for Windows Defender has been updated today to v4.18.1910.4

You can get it here at Microsoft's Catalog:

x86.

x64

ARM64

I hope I am not mistaken and that is the correct order: Check file details for architecture.

:)

 

Does it include update for antimalware platform?

Does "WDA" stand for "Windows Defender Antimalware"?
When I say "antimalware platform", I mean "Windows Defender antimalware platform".

 

Does it include update for antimalware platform?

No, my WDA above means Windows Defender Antivirus, but I should have written WD.

It seems what you mean by "antimalware platform" is not within Windows Defender (anti-virus + anti-malware to my understanding, as indicated in the PDF file). If that's the case, I misunderstood you.
