Update KB915597 for windows defender keeps updating in my computer
Ritabelle777
the update history as succesfully installed but not on the installed updates
list, so I can't uninstall it. I don't even think mI need this update since I
don't even use outlook for anything. I haven't found, in the knowledge base,
solutions or troubleshooting, anything that can solve this problem. If I try
to go to Windows Update to scan my computer for additional updates, it shows
the same thing and installs again as if there aren't any other updates to
install. I was wondering if Windows Update itself isn't corrupted and thought
it would probably work if I could uninstall windows update and re install
again after restarting my computer. I don't know how will that affect the
computer and if it will erase anything, including updates already installed.
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium IE7. Please help.

and downloading the 32-bit definitions for Windows Defender to the desktop,
then double-click them to apply.
See if that both brings you up to date, and perhaps improves on the behavior
in future.

Also, you can try Method 1 (sfc /scannow)

Method 1: Run the System File Checker (SFC.exe) tool with the sfc /scannow
command
Although this method sounds highly technical, it is really a straightforward
process that even the less experienced user can do. System File Checker
merely makes sure that all system files are where they should be. The sfc
/scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect
versions with correct Microsoft versions.
I hope this post is helpful.
Let us know how it works ºut.
Good luck

also performed a sfc /scannow which says there's a system repair that needs
pending that requires reboot to complete, which I have restarted numerous
times and it keeps saying the same which I assume goes with the continous
updating of the same thing. Can anyone tell me if there is another option?
Thanks.

A repair install is the usual solution of SFC /Scannow doesn't work

it or not is irrelevant.
1) Has updating Windows Defender's definitions always been problematic
or is this a new issue ?
2) Was the system able to obtain and install updates prior to this issue
occurring ?
3) *** What is the installed antivirus/security suite and does it still
have a current subscription ? ***
When you attempted to install the manually downloaded Windows Defender
definitions did you *right* click mpas-fe.exe and choose 'Run as
administrator' ? If not, please try that first.
Follow the prompts to allow it to run.
