The manual CMD way is all I use now. The issue hit me with an OS update a few months ago. The CMD method works every time.
Could also just create a BAT file to do it.

Yeah, when you click "Reset Signatures" in DefenderUI, it runs the following commands...
MpCmdRun.exe -RemoveDefinitions -All
MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate
In the article, the commands are slightly different...
MpCmdRun.exe -removedefinitions -dynamicsignatures
MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate
If the first one is not working for you guys, but the second one is, please let me know and I will change it in DefenderUI, thank you!

Yeah, it matters, and in DefenderUI it runs from the service, so we are good there.

This is an issue related to MD and I have searched for a fix but have not found one yet. Does anyone else have any ideas?

I have no problem with MD and Windows updates.

Yeah, I think this is an extremely uncommon issue, so a fix might be hard to find. I had something like this recently... my MD tray icon disappeared for a couple of months and I could not find a fix for it anywhere. Then the other day I searched one last time and found a fix. It's funny because I really do not need that tray icon, but I do need it to verify the DefenderUI one is correct
.Hi Dan,
when can we expect a price for DefenderUI Pro? Will you offer a Lifetime License similar to your offer regarding VoodooShield?
Many Thanks!

It's going to be a while before we start to charge for DefenderUI Pro, but yeah, if we do charge for it there will be a lifetime license option. Thank you!

May have been posted before sorry but what is the biggest difference between DefenderUI and DefenderUIPro ?
- May 31, 2017

DefenderUI Pro is the same as DefenderUI, but Pro also includes a lite version of VS. So you can run DefenderUI with VS, but you cannot run DefenderUI Pro with VS.
That way users can run VS with third party AV's, or they can run DefenderUI with MD and a different zero-trust product, or they can run DefenderUI Pro that combines DefenderUI and VS.
Oh wow. That is the perfect explanation!

Hi Dan, giving DefenderUIPro a whirl and have a question. In the Advanced Settings page the Threat Default Actions are determined by what profile you are using, is there a way to set up the default actions individually ? For instance I have some programs that may be detected as a High or Severe threat which I know are safe and I do not want them to be quarantined or deleted without my permission. If I had my choice I would set all default actions to Block, that way I have control as to what is going to happen next. Thanks.

I think I know what you mean, but if this does not answer your question please let me know. The Threat Default Actions are independent from security profiles, but they do have default values for each of the security profiles (like when you switch security profiles), but you can change them to whatever you like. Are you saying that you want to be able to keep the Threat Default Actions always on Block, and for them to not change to their default profiles when a new Security Profile is selected? If so, I think makes a lot of sense to do it that way as well. Please let me know if this is what you mean, thank you!
