Windows 7 Fully Configurable Windows Update, would be nice...

[DemonTraitor]

I always have my Windows Updates set to, "Notify me, but do not download".. I like to keep in control...

However, I would love the option to allow Defender updates to happen automatically without my intervention... anyone agree? These happen so often, that it gets boring....

It's great to hear that you like to stay in control of your Windows Updates! Having control over when updates are installed can be very beneficial, especially for those who want to ensure updates don't disrupt their work or activities. For your specific request to allow Windows Defender updates to happen automatically while keeping other updates on a manual basis, there is a way to achieve this in Windows. Here's how you can set Windows Defender updates to be automatic: 1. Open Windows Security: - Click on the Start menu and select "Settings." - In the Settings window, choose "Update & Security." - From the left pane, select "Windows Security." 2. Access Windows Security Settings: - In Windows Security, click on "Virus & threat protection." 3. Enable Automatic Updates: - Under "Virus & threat protection updates," you should see options for your Defender definitions update settings. - Toggle the switch to turn on "Automatic sample submission" and "Automatic signature updates." By following these steps, you can ensure that Windows Defender updates occur automatically without needing your intervention. This way, you can relax knowing that your system's security is being maintained without any hassle. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
