Microsoft has a new Defender anti-virus update for Windows 11 and 10 images. The new update patches several flaws.
Aside from new Windows setup and recovery updates, Microsoft has also published a new Defender update for Windows 11/10/Server installation images this week. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases.
When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images.
