    Defender update frequency normal?


    I noticed that starting 1st Aug. every day a restore point is created (Windows Modules Installer). Looking to which updates I received, I noticed that, starting 15 July, Defender Definition Updates were successfully installed every day and often 3 updates/day (possibly with every PC start).
    This behaviour is different from the past (both frequency as creating a restore point). Did something change in MS policy?
    Win 10 Pro v. 1803

    :)

    Defender updates no longer shown

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

    I appreciate your interest on Windows 10.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below:

    • Type defender in the search box.
    • Click on update.
    • Check for the date on which defender is being updated.
    • If the recent date is mentioned then it will not show in the Automatic Updates.
    • Also click on update definition and check if any update is pending.
    Please get back to us with updated status. We will be happy to assist you further.

    Windows Defender auto scan frequency

    Merged

    Original title: Windows Defender auto scan frequency

    I am hoping someone with knowledge of Defender can tell me the normally expected interval between auto scans.

    Different question- Why does the Defender tab that appears on the Task Bar when Defender is open sometimes appear in brown and sometimes appear in blue, and sometimes change color from brown to blue when Defender is minimized or maximized?

    Sorry but I just want to see Defender updates listed in my update history. Updates for office 2010 etc are shown so why not Windows Defender?
