    Windows 10 Cumulative Updates turning OFF 'Definition Updates' updates for MS Defender


    Whenever I get a Windows 10 Cumulative Update or even a Preview Cumulative Update my 'Definition Updates' for MS Defender are halted. Through help from a Microsoft Community member, I found out that the 'Periodic Scanning' flag in Windows Security is available when another Security Program in my case MalwareBytes is being used. I have MS Defender for the Firewall which MWB does not have, and to be able to get periodic scans. Once I set this flag back on, I began receiving the almost daily 'Definition Updates' for MS Defender, however, Windows 10 Cumulative Updates turn this flag back OFF. MS Defender and MalwareBytes ran together fine for 2 years, and I never had problems with updates being halted until I downloaded v2004 of Windows 10.


    Any ideas on this?


    Thanks,

    Stevie Y.
