Solved MS Defender Anti-Virus Update

For the past few days when I turn on my computer I get a notice that there is an update. I go to updates and click to download and install it. Afterwards the update page says that the computer is up to date. The next morning I get another notification stating that there is an update for my computer so again, I do the same thing and then check afterwards and it states that my computer is up to date. Well, I got it again this morning so I went to the history section and that darn update is not showing up anywhere.

This has been happening for a couple days now and it is getting really frustrating. The update is Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (version 1.439.588.0 - Current Channel (Broad)

I actually took a screen shot yesterday morning before and after the update was supposedly installed and checked with the information today and it is the exact same information.

I am running windows 11 Pro Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.6060.

Any ideas what the problem is and how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You


UPDATE - I forgot about the troubleshooter so I ran that and then tried installing that update again. I get the screen that it was installed but this time, I also checked the update history and now it is showing the update that I just ran. So hoping that tomorrow morning, I don't get the same screen again. Will let you know tomorrow.

There is no problem. Those updates are released often.

Exactly, no problem, those are daily updates as they should be.

KB2267602 is the universal KB listed for every new version of the Defender definition updates.

MS collects data about known malware threats, and creates a new definition update at least once a day.
Defender's platform engine is normally updated once a month.
Security Center app may be updated whenever needed.
