Manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus updates and apply baselines

Important

Customers who applied the March 2022 Microsoft Defender engine update (1.1.19100.5) might have encountered high resource utilization (CPU and/or memory). Microsoft has released an update (1.1.19200.5) that resolves the bugs introduced in the earlier version. Customers are recommended to update to at least this new engine build of Antivirus Engine (1.1.19200.5). To ensure any performance issues are fully fixed, it is recommended to reboot machines after applying update. See Monthly platform and engine versions (in this article).

Keeping Microsoft Defender Antivirus up to date is critical to assure your devices have the latest technology and features needed to protect against new malware and attack techniques. Make sure to update your antivirus protection, even if Microsoft Defender Antivirus is running in passive mode. There are two types of updates related to keeping Microsoft Defender Antivirus up to date:

Tip

To see the most current engine, platform, and signature date, visit the Security intelligence updates for Microsoft Defender Antivirus and other Microsoft antimalware

Security intelligence updates

Microsoft Defender Antivirus uses cloud-delivered protection (also called the Microsoft Advanced Protection Service or MAPS) and periodically downloads dynamic security intelligence updates to provide additional protection. These dynamic updates don't take the place of regular security intelligence updates via security intelligence update KB2267602.

Note

Updates are released under the following KBs:

  • Microsoft Defender Antivirus: KB2267602
  • System Center Endpoint Protection: KB2461484

Cloud-delivered protection is always on and requires an active connection to the Internet to function. Security intelligence updates occur on a scheduled cadence (configurable via policy). For more information, see Use Microsoft cloud-provided protection in Microsoft Defender Antivirus.

For a list of recent security intelligence updates, see Security intelligence updates for Microsoft Defender Antivirus and other Microsoft antimalware.

Engine updates are included with security intelligence updates and are released on a monthly cadence.

Product updates

Microsoft Defender Antivirus requires monthly updates (KB4052623) known as platform updates.

You can manage the distribution of updates through one of the following methods:

Microsoft Defender Antivirus platform support

Platform and engine updates are provided on a monthly cadence. To be fully supported, keep current with the latest platform updates. Our support structure is dynamic, evolving into two phases depending on the availability of the latest platform version:

  • Security and Critical Updates servicing phase - When running the latest platform version, you'll be eligible to receive both Security and Critical updates to the anti-malware platform.

  • Technical Support (Only) phase - After a new platform version is released, support for older versions (N-2) will reduce to technical support only. Platform versions older than N-2 will no longer be supported.*

* Technical support will continue to be provided for upgrades from the Windows 10 release version (see Platform version included with Windows 10 releases) to the latest platform version.

During the technical support (only) phase, commercially reasonable support incidents will be provided through Microsoft Customer Service & Support and Microsoft's managed support offerings (such as Premier Support). If a support incident requires escalation to development for further guidance, requires a non-security update, or requires a security update, customers will be asked to upgrade to the latest platform version or an intermediate update (*).

Note

If you are manually deploying Microsoft Defender Antivirus Platform Update, or if you are using a script or a non-Microsoft management product to deploy Microsoft Defender Antivirus Platform Update, make sure that version 4.18.2001.10 is installed from the Microsoft Update Catalog before the latest version of Platform Update (N-2) is installed.

Platform version included with Windows 10 releases

The below table provides the Microsoft Defender Antivirus platform and engine versions that are shipped with the latest Windows 10 releases:

Updates for Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)

We recommend updating your Windows 10 (Enterprise, Pro, and Home editions), Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, and Windows Server 2016 OS installation images with the latest antivirus and antimalware updates. Keeping your OS installation images up to date helps avoid a gap in protection.
