Microsoft continually updates security intelligence in antimalware products to cover the latest threats and to constantly tweak detection logic, enhancing the ability of Windows Defender Antivirus and other Microsoft antimalware solutions to accurately identify threats. If you need to disable it permanently, see Disable Windows Defender in Windows 10. After some period of time, it will be re-enabled automatically.

The application, formerly known as "Windows Defender Dashboard" and "Windows Defender Security Center", has been created to help the user control his security and privacy settings in a clear and useful way. Recent Windows 10 version come with is a new app called Windows Security. Microsoft is renaming the app Microsoft Defender. In Windows 8 and Windows 10, Defender is based on the Microsoft Security Essentials app which offers better protection by adding full blown protection against all kinds of malware. Earlier versions of Windows like Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 and Vista also had it but it was less efficient previously as it only scanned spyware and adware. But on my computer Definitions get through daily.Windows Defender is the default antivirus app shipped with Windows 10. I don’t know if that is because platforms can’t make it through pause or because it is still being tested and has not been released yet. I still have not gotten the new Defender Platform (.4) and my event viewer is filling up with Event ID 70, several a day. Can be three days before update appears in this history.
