Is there or will there be a list of what Windows Defender looks for?

Not to my knowledge, at this time.
By default <automatic updates> are on, open WD and verify the information
panel at the bottom of the main screen, this will provide your definition file
status.

It is updating, just want to know why spyware/malware/etc. it looks for (and
what the recommendation for each is)
Thanks
 
Historically, they haven't published lists of what is covered in a given
signature set, or what the program covers altogether. I suspect that by
release, there will be better information about a given found threat--but I
don't have a lot of experience about what that will look like, because I've
seen almost none, so far!
