    Windows 10 Defender not wanting to update definitions.


    Hi so when My PC decided to update to April update it had also updated my Defender definitions to 1.267.615.0. prior.

    Now after the update every time I check for the latest defender update it just checks for a few secs and then does nothing and finishes. Even trying to update by command line said "no updates were necessary"

    So the only way I was able to get definition update 1.267.643.0 was by downloading it from Microsoft.com

    Then it was able to install. But yes anyone else experiencing this too?

    Yes, tomorrow all should be fine again. Everybody are celebrating Mayday, I think and the update has not been pushed to WU for some reason.
