Windows 10: Windows Defender Updates

I wonder if anyone else has noticed that there have been no updates to Windows Defender since Version 1.221.14.0 created at 4:28 PM May 19 2016? I have used Defender (currently on 5 machines) for several years and there have always been several updates daily and now there hasn't been one for nearly 48 hours. All 5 of my machines come back "No Updates Available" when checking for updates.

Anyone have an update later?

Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602 (Definition 1.213.5087.0) - Error 0x80070643

Yes I understand that Windows Defender will not run if another AV program is installed (in this case Norton 360) but then why does Windows Update keep trying and failing to install Defender updates, when Windows Defender is not running?

I uninstalled Norton 360, ran Windows Defender and downloaded updates for it. Then ran Windows Update and it worked fine, didn't report any Windows Defender updates. I then reinstalled Norton 360 and Windows Defender correctly is turned off.

But again Windows Update tries to install Windows Defender updates and fails: "Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602 (Definition 1.213.5520.0) - Error 0x80070643es. This is a Windows Update bug introduced last month, probably in the cumulative
update for January 2016. Is there any way to fix it?

 

PC not updating

Try update windows defender using windows defender and then go to updates. Or disable windows defender and check for updates , then enable windows defender and update again.

 

My last Windows Defender update is the same as the one noted in your post above.

 

Same here. I even went to the Microsoft Malware Protection Center and that's the latest update available for Windows 10. When this happened with Windows 7 it usually resulted in a major version update.

 

Same here on XP. Glad it's not me. When they pulled the updates for a week around 4/14/16 I was doing manual def installs.

I believe that one time I got the wrong one for my OS & I believe it changed a system file or 2. Everything works except 1 security program, a component of Greatis Reg Run.

They've really tried to help, but the few suggestions caused more problems, so...................

 

Same here: Defender refuses to start, dead. My last update is 2 days ago: 1.221.14.0.
Try this web site but its not working: Download Windows Defender Definition Updates - MajorGeeks

 

Interesting. I really wish I hadn't done those manual updates in April. I only got 1 bad one, but that'sall it took.

 

The executable file is not working: mpma-fe.exe

 

MSE/Windows 7 has been the same for 2 days.
I just checked and MSE updated but only the date changed not the update version. (1.221.14.0)
That is the first time the date has changed in two days and I check for updates 2 or 3 times every day.

 

Thanks for feedback Layback.

 

I just checked mine after seeing this thread, it was two days old on definitions, I updated and got these just now,

 

I also just now got the MSE updates just now. (1.221.293.0) Did this on 3 Windows 7 systems.

It also didn't spend a lot of time searching.
Maybe Microsoft is doing a little fixing.

While as was at it I checked for Windows updates. None were found but it's Searching went quite quickly compared on how it's been for the last few months.

 

Windows 7 updates/patches have been a nightmare for me the last few months.

 

Now on 1.221.299.0 Says definitions created 6 hours ago.
