I've just received one, it's been sOOOoooo long that I thought they weren't
bothering with it anymore !
One often wonders just what good it is seeing as weeks and weeks seem to
pass before it's updated !

I've left it installed because it doesn't seem to do any harm, and it
doesn't seem to conflict with other real-time anti-malware scanners but, one
wonders if it's worth leaving it in there ?

regards, Richard

Windows Defender definitions were updated daily on weekdays, from August
first through the 15th.

I suspect they will revert to less frequently--perhaps twice a week, or even
once a week, at this point.

Were you speaking of definition updates, or some other kind of update?
