    Windows Defender update query.


    I upgraded to win 10 about a week ago and although things in general seem pretty straight forward, I am rather concerned that although Win defender says Definitions up to date, there is no trace of a defender definition in "view your update history".
    I guess this might be by design, but it would be nice to have some reassurance about this.

    :)

    window defender for windows 10

    Hi Wayne,



    Welcome to Microsoft community and thank you for posting your query.

    Let me assist you with your query.



    I would recommend you to use Windows defender as it came in-built with the operating system, and will be able to protect your system completely. Also, I suggest you to install all the Windows update to keep the Windows defender updated.



    If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.

    Windows Defender update query.

    Hi Greybeard, Welcome to Ten Forums. You can check to see the latest definitions installed by typing "windows defender" (without the quotes) into the search box, clicking on "windows defender desktop app" and then the update tab. It will show you the dates of the latest definitions.

    Windows Defender updates do not show up in "View your update history" anymore.
    After downloading, they go directly to Windows Defender. You can see your latest update if you open WD and click Update tab.

    Thanks for your replies gents. I guess I can relax now *Smile

    Should mention though that I don't get "Windows defender desktop app" after searching. Maybe a recent update/change?
