    Windows Defender requesting Windows update


    I have not updated to the latest version of Windows 10 as i have and ASUS motherboard which wont allow it. I have therefore stopped Windows Update trying to update Windows 10. Windows defender is asking me to fix an issue in Updates which has the following error message "Your device is at risk because it’s out of date and missing important security and quality updates. Let’s get you back on track so Windows can run more securely. Select this button to get going:" when I click on the "Check for Updates button" not a lot happens. Am I stuck with this request from Defender, as I cannot update Windows 10, or is there a way of removing it?

    :)

    SEtting up automatic updates for windows defender on windows 8

    I have found this on the internet en have set up a task for automatic definitions update for Windows Defender but a window pops up when this starts to run.
    Is there a way to set this without any window popping up so that it just runs in the background?

    Now I'm using
    "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -SignatureUpdate -MMPC

    I'm currrently using it as described here:
    Let your Windows 8 Defender update itself automatically.

    What the hell, windows defender?

    Installing major updates like the April update will reset pretty much all Windows features including Windows Defender.
