Spencer 0 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I have ESS 8.0.304.0 and the quick start icon went blue and it says "Operating system is not up to date" and the System updates available include "Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.189.1916.0)" as Important. When I click "Run system update" it does not show up as an available update in Windows Updater. ESS returns to showing Maximum Protection until after I reboot and the same thing occurs. This is not a major problem but I thought I would see if others have seen this, or if anyone knows why it is happening. I have seen this occasionally in the past but never bothered to bring it up.

TomFace 539 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Hello and welcome Spencer! I have not seen that (I have ESS 8.0.301.0 - Win 7 x64 - Win Defender real time is off)). What version of windows are you running? Edited December 13, 2014 by TomFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweX 871 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Hello, If know how to keep Windows up to date, and you doesn't want or need to be notified by ESET about this, then you can disable these windows update notifications if you want to: hxxp://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN3192&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1418516039676 Edited December 14, 2014 by SweX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Most Valued Members planet 232 Posted December 14, 2014 Most Valued Members Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) You shouldn't be notified of definition updates if Windows Defender is turned off (which it should be since you have ESET Smart Security installed). Might be good to double check if Windows Defender is actually turned off - click Start, type 'Windows Defender' and open it. If it is turned off, a message should appear confirming so. If you don't see a message and you see the main window for Windows Defender instead... For Windows Vista: Click 'Tools', then 'Options'. Click 'Administrator options', remove the tick next to 'Use Windows Defender' and click Save. For Windows 7: Click 'Tools', then 'Options'. Click 'Administrator', remove the tick next to 'Use this program' and click Save. For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1: Click on the 'Settings' tab, then 'Real-time protection' and remove the tick next to 'Turn on real-time protection'. Afterwards, restart your PC and manually check for updates. Hopefully you should no longer receive notifications about definition updates. If you are running Windows 7, it might also be good to run the automated Windows Update troubleshooter provided by Microsoft to check that Windows Update services are running correctly. (The download link is linked as 'Windows Update Troubleshooter' on the page). Edited December 14, 2014 by planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,397 Posted December 14, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2014 Also check hidden updates in the Windows Update setup. If there are some listed, although Windows wouldn't notify you about them, ESET would as one could have hidden an important one. In the ESS setup, you can select the level of importance for which ESET will notify you, if not installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugk 397 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) @planet AFAIK even when Windows Defender is deactivated the signatures are still downloaded. @Spencer Also check the update history of Windows (you can view it at the left of the Windows updates window) and check if the update with which you're having problems (KB915597) is listed there. Of course also check whether it was installed successfully. Edited December 14, 2014 by rugk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
