Getting no updates
Nomad:
Let me say that the failed update (73-72) was not the Windows Defender one.
I just went to see W. D. through Control Panel and it said the definitions were from June 2015. Then I clicked to update and a box popped out with a progression bar which only filled very close to the left corner.
Boggin:
So which one did fail and what was the fail error code ?
Do you actually use WD as it's only an on demand scanner and the free version of MBAM would be better suited and probably more effective.
Nomad:
I was looking in the update historic and so it is: update KB3073921 appears in the list as failed but it is some lines up as successfully installed, the total updates is 72 (don't know how WU was telling there were 73 updates).
Beyond WD update missing, I noticed that one update Microsoft makes available every month, that one to detect malware, in my historic (newly downloaded) is from February 2016; I think it should be from Mars because this download happened in April.
I'm not worried for having WD not updated but by the fact that it seems to mean there is still some issue with my WU.

hi, nothing to worry. Just disable the av program when the windows update. Becasue, your av is also getting to the files and so , it is the thing that you should try. after disabling the av, try the updates and you will get all the updates you needed.

Yes, the one for MSRT is a monthly one so you may have more updates to come - it may update itself with April's updates but it should have been March's issue that downloaded.
Any failures will always be included in the update history.
