[QUOTE="JasonUK, post: 979604, member: 86995"] Question for [USER=76851]@WiseVector[/USER] ~ Can v3.05 with both Firewall & HIPS set to 'High' interfere with Microsoft Defender updates? Reason for query: On Tuesday Microsoft Defender totally disabled itself on my Windows10 21H2 PC because it couldn't install 'Update for Microsoft Defender antimalware platform KB4052623 (Version 4.18.2202.4)'. Retrying installation within Windows Security repeatedly failed with 'download error' or failed part way through installing. I disabled WVSX (so there was no other RTP AV) and rebooted PC and update went through without any further issue. I can't be certain whether it was the reboot or disabling WVSX (or both) which cleared the problem hence my question... is there anything about WVSX or specifically about 'High Security' settings which could have interfered with Defender updates? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
