Windows 10 Windows 10 Cumulative Updates turning OFF 'Definition Updates' (updates for MS Defender)

[Stevie-Y]

Whenever I get a Windows 10 Cumulative Update (or even a Preview Cumulative Update) my 'Definition Updates' (for MS Defender) are halted. Through help from a Microsoft Community member, I found out that the 'Periodic Scanning' flag in Windows Security is available when another Security Program (in my case MalwareBytes) is being used. I have MS Defender for the Firewall (which MWB does not have), and to be able to get periodic scans. Once I set this flag back on, I began receiving the almost daily 'Definition Updates' for MS Defender, however, Windows 10 Cumulative Updates turn this flag back OFF. MS Defender and MalwareBytes ran together fine for 2 years, and I never had problems with updates being halted until I downloaded v2004 of Windows 10.


Any ideas on this?


Thanks,
