    Hi Tensandunit,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and welcome to the Windows 10 family.

    To be able to assist you better, I would like to know a few more details on the below questions.

    1. Is the status of the Windows Defender active?

    2. Did you check if there was any recent update already installed for Windows Defender?

    Now, refer to the below suggested steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    A. Check whether the Windows date and Time set to Automatic and synced.

    B. Disconnect all the peripheral devices except for the mouse and keyboard.

    C. Update all your computer's drivers from manufacturer’s website.

    Windows update and windows defender issues

    We suggest you to avoid installing any cleaner or anti-virus software that may interrupt the function of Windows Defender. Make sure that Windows Defender is always on. To do this follow these steps:

    • On the Start menu, type Windows Defender and hit enter.
    • Click Settings.
    • Turn Real-time protection on.
    We also recommend you to install the latest update for Windows Defender.

    Should you have further questions, feel free to get back to us.

    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:
