Cumulative Updates & Windows Defender updates

I've had Windows 98, XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and now windows 10. I have never had this much trouble getting an OS to install or getting an OS to install updates from Microsoft. I am having such issues with my Custom built Desktop I am almost considering
going back to windows 7.

Motherboard is ASUS

Everytime I try and install older audio drivers my PC crashes BSOD I need to boot into safe mode and uninstall the driver then windows installs a driver which is not making my rear speakers work. I've tried everything. speaker fill enabled. Quadraphonic
I do the test for all speakers the two front ones work but the rear speakers I hear nothing. rear speakers worked with windows 7

 

By coincidence I had checked for updates just before you posted. I got version 1.249.1077.0 created about a day ago.

 

i've been checking both our PC's today as well and still have .1077 and the MS website (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/definitions) says that this is the latest one.

 

ok thanks , same version as me then

 

Indeed. MS releases new definitions about 12 times a day. No updates for the whole day, that is really odd.

 

Last here was yesterday mid-morning.....

 

MS has put out a new definition:

 

Quite a jump from 1077 to 1124. I guess there were some internal problems.

 

As you said earlier...

...and indeed delivers all of them to their Enterprise customers for the Windows Server Update Service (WSUS). The public releases are a selection from these, usually one or two a day.

This is not the first time there has been a gap of more than a day.
Windows Defender Threat Definitions Update?

 

Mine updated Monday 8/14/17 and definition version is 1.249.1036.0. Majorgeeks.com is not showing anything newer.

 

Mine was updated to 1.249.1159.0 at 06:45:06 17 August 2017 [I guess that 06:45:06 is MS HQ time, it is not my own timezone - the update happened at 10:05 British Summer Time {GMT+1}]

All times shown in Defender are in your local time zone. This can lead to confusion when people from different time zones quote the creation time they see for Defender updates. This is perhaps more clearly demonstrated if you use the old Defender UI which (unlike the new Defender) includes the date and time I last checked for updates. The old UI is still included in the Creators Update: Create Windows Defender Settings shortcut in Windows 10

Here you can see that the check for updates that I made just before midday UK time found definitions 1.249.1164.0 created three and a half hours earlier. A US user will see the same version number, but with the creation time expressed in their own time zone.

 

Bree,

Yes, I also checked it using the old UI when I first came across this strange Last update entry in Windows defender security centre, an entry that is effectively now just a repeat of the Version created on entry. I appreciate that the old UI shows a sensible time for when the last update was done [checking it is more convenient than looking in Event viewer for the same info - System log, Event source WindowsUpdateClient, Event 19].

All the best,
Denis
