update definitions windows defender offline
Ultimately, Windows Defender might fail to update the definitions itself for whatever reason. In such cases you must either force a definition update by navigating to the designated tab of Windows Defender or by downloading and installing the latest signature definitions. The Windows Defender Definition Updates are offline packages containing the most recent antivirus signature for Windows Defender. Once installed, they will make sure your PC is safe from the latest known viruses, spyware, PUPs, and malicious files.
