I assume (hope) you are talking about the Definition Updates "Security intelligence updates for Microsoft Defender Antivirus"
These are generally released every two hours from memory.
As a general rule they are automatically updated once a day on systems running Defender.
If you manually check your system for updates, if new ones have been released since it was last checked for updates, it will update again (hope this makes sense).
