Manual update

The Windows Update page seems to be disabled in my company environment, and I
am unable to run the Updater in Defender either (error code 0x80070422). The
updates for Windows are delivered to the computers by a custom solution. I
don't see a chance to get the Defender updates this way.
Is there a possibility to manually download and install the updates?
 
Not a problem--thanks for doing the research!

Have you tried going to Windows Update?

I posted the direct URL for yesterdays update in .Announcements late
yesterday--see if you can spot that post.

You can schedule your own Windows Defender definition updates.

1. Create the following bat file:
C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\WDSignatureUpdate.bat

@echo off
"C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" SignatureUpdate

2. Create the following scheduled task:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\WDSignatureUpdate.bat.lnk"

Schedule the task to run whenever and as frequently as you want.
 
Definitely, but only if autoupdate is, in fact working--not clear given the
original post.
