Automatic Updates with Windows updates disabled

[Falloutman]

Right now I have automatic windows updates disabled for privacy issues. Because of this, I have to manually download and install the daily updates for Windows Defender. Is there a way to exclude Windows Defender from the disabled updates?

You should make a task scheduler operation in order to update automatically based on the time and day it should execute.

Link on the tutorial (Go on Update package information)

Turn off automatic updates is not a good choice because this also means give up to bugs and vulnerabilities fixes.
There are some tools to disable the telemetry and other data sharing features that can improve your privacy level.

For example

Spybot Anti-Beacon for Windows

It works on Windows 7/8.1/10.
