  1. Update definition of Defender forces reboot on Windows 11 Pro


    Hello,Since 2 weeks, each time definitions for windows defender windows 11 Pro 22H2 are udpdated, my computer reboots after 10 minutes without notification.I defined working hours but reboot appened even during those hours. Very frustrating because without notification, I can't save my work.This appens at least one time per day, in fact, each time definitions for defender are updated.I've tried suspend updates but seems definitions continue to be updated and of course reboot the computer.Any idea ?Thank you

    :)

  2. Windows Defender: Do Windows Defender definition updates force reboot?

    I need a definite answer for this as it's regarding server environment (Windows Server 2016 Datacenter).

    Will Windows Defender definition updates force a reboot?

    I want this to be run automatically on a server, but cannot let it to automatically reboot it.

    Can someone from Microsoft Support confirm this?

  3. Anyway To Disable Definition Updates in Windows 11 Pro?

    So I originally had Windows Defender in Windows 11 disabled, but after an update it turned back on. I would appreciate it if someone could teach me the steps of disabling the Definition Updates inside Windows 11 PRO.

    Windows Defender Definition Updates.

    Thank you Elba for the prompt reply. However, there is a problem: In "Control Panel" under the "Programs and Features" page > "View Installed Updates" the " Windows Defender Definition Updates" are NOT listed. Consequently, I cannot delete/uninstall them.
    The same thing happens when I use "Settings" >" Updates & Security" > "View Update History". Here the Definition Updates are all listed but I can't uninstall them either. Any other suggestions?

    Thanks again, Fred
