    I doubt it. To have not updated in more then 36 hours isn't right.
     
  3. Pretty much my thoughts too. Still no change through either the Defender "Check for updates" or Windows Update "Check for updates". Hoping someone else will have either the same thing to report, or that they've received later updates.

    My history with updates has my paranoia showing. AGAIN!

    Still no change. Has ANYONE got a later Definitions update than the one I'm showing from Friday night?

  7. your not being paranoid- i checked both my PC (running 1703) and my Dads netbook (running 1607) and neither has received an update today and there's no error messages. I went through a similar paranoia about it a few months ago over a weekend but on the following Monday a update came through so its probably on MS's end and not yours since 2 of our PC's running 2 different version of 10 haven't received one

    Windows Defender Threat Definitions Update?

    They took the weekend off. Plenty of posts about it all over the interwebs. But it is what it is. We are being "protected" by a soon to be two day old definition. Perfect opportunity for someone nefarious.
     
  9. try checking now- just downloaded a fresh definition

    Mine updated on its own. It is Monday in some parts of the world. Back to work for the Definition issuers.

    Mine didn't download through Windows Update for some reason (I have it set to notify and not download automatically). It updated on its own.
