Windows Defender gets faulty update

Microsoft has released yet another faulty update, and this time it appears to be causing some serious issues with Windows Defender, the built-in antivirus software that comes with Windows 10.

As Windows Latest reports, it appears that an automatic update, known as Security Intelligence 1.313.1638.0, which was only recently released by Microsoft, is causing Windows Defender to show error messages saying “Threat service has stopped. Restart now,” and “Unexpected error. Sorry, we ran into a problem. Please try again.”

Most worryingly of all, the issues appear to prevent users from being able to run Windows Defender scans to check Windows 10 for viruses and security problems.


Indefensible

Microsoft is having a rough time of late when it comes to pushing faulty updates, but this is one of the most concerning. Because Windows Defender is built into Windows 10, it’s used by a huge amount of people to keep their PCs safe when online.

If the update is causing Windows Defender to stop working, millions of PCs could be at risk.
