Windows 10: windows 10 antimalware client version

Hello


So windows updated my antimalware client to version 4.18.2103.3


now i have a process called Microsoft Malware Protection Copy Accelerator Utility that is constantly running since MpCopyAccelerator.exe


file location C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\4.18.2103.3-0


Since i cant seem to find anything about this version was a bit worried if this was a legit file or something.


Hoping someone can tell me what it is.


Thanks.

:)

New Defender Antimalware Client Version

Yes, if you're not using another antivirus the last link is no help and "periodic scanning" won't show up. As for the Antimalware Client Version finally installing, who knows? Perhaps something just needed to sort out? Another Windows mystery. In any event, I'm glad it finally worked out, even if we don't know how.
