N8-00 and Belle Refresh

Hello, i was wondering when the "Belle Refresh" update will be available for N8-00 059D607 devices.

 

Windows Defender (as the name suggests) defends your computer from attacks like malware and viruses.

Windows Update is another component which... yup, you've guessed it, installs updates.

Turning off Defender doesn't affect how updates are installed.

 

Yes but windows will not install the windows defender update i keep getting this error Error 0x80070643

 

Mine is turned off as well. But Windows has not detect the KB you specified.

I think that i have solved the problem. i removed my g-data security and activated the windows defender
the updates then installed ok. And then i reinstalled g-data. and its working ok now , thanks for your help

 

Glad you got it sorted *Biggrin

 

If Defender is disabled via a third party a/v WU will not update Defender definitions; this is normal behavior.

 

I think everyone might find this Microsoft Tool designed for Windows 10 useful. This is a Show / Hide Update Tool if you have used the Hide update in Windows 8.1 you will like this.

I've had the same problem and solved it by uninstalling Norton Security. Then installing the defender definitions update that had been failing. After that I reinstalled Norton Security.
UPDATE: Issue isn't fixed so I suspect that its caused by a conflict between Windows Defender and Norton Security.
