My virus and threat protection is not seen in my windows security? Why is it?Another thing is that it always says that "your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available."

"Virus and Threat Protection" "Page not available" Error

Hello,

In addition, check using an available option in the tutorial below to make sure the Virus and threat protection section in Windows Security wasn't set to be hidden by policy.

Windows Security (Virus & threat protction updates ) showing that the virus scanner is updated three times a day

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

Microsoft Defender, the built-in antivirus in Windows 10, automatically updates its virus definitions several times a day. However, the exact frequency isn't typically specified within the Windows Security Center interface.

Here are the steps to manually check for updates:

1. Open Windows Security (you can do this by typing "Windows Security" into the search bar and clicking on the app).
   
2. Click on "Virus & threat protection".
   
3. Under "Virus & threat protection updates", click on "Check for updates". This will show you when the last update was and you can manually update it if needed.
   

As for changing the frequency of automatic updates, this is not typically something that can be adjusted by the user in Windows Security. The updates are managed by Windows Update, which is designed to automatically keep your system safe without needing input from the user.

In a corporate or enterprise environment, administrators might have more control over the timing of updates through the use of group policy settings or configuration management tools, but this is generally not available or recommended for individual users.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
