Exactly what ZDnet quoted, as well. Thanks, JanOscar.
Not sure why you guys seem so incredibly determined to prove me wrong - as though I don't know what my own machine is doing right in front of my eyes. Do you think I'm lying? Do you think I'm not really seeing what I'm seeing? That it's all in my head? I'm just imagining the updates coming in, but in reality they're not?
Here's a screenshot I captured just 30 seconds ago, right as I was installing yet another update.
Oh and in case you're wondering, have a look at the KB number as well as the version number from the screenshot. Then feel free to cross reference that information directly from Microsoft:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/defenderupdates
Maybe pay particular attention to the part that says:
The latest security intelligence update is:
- Version: 1.421.671.0
- Engine Version: 1.1.24090.11
- Platform Version: 4.18.24090.11
- Released: 12/7/2024 4:49:54 PM
Notice how it shows the exact same version number that I just showed you in my screenshot? Notice how it shows today's date?
And then after you've verified everything on Microsoft's site, maybe you can show me a few more articles about how Microsoft is no longer providing the updates that I'm clearly receiving.
