Update history not updating

My update history does not show any updates after 1/22/14. I know for sure that I have successfully installed at least a few dozen updates since then (almost all of them involving Windows Defender). Any ideas?

Actually, what I'm referring to is: PC Settings > Update and recovery > View your update history. Nothing is shown subsequent to 1/22/14. When I checked "View installed updates" it does not list any Windows Defender updates at all (but does list one non-Windows Defender update that I installed today).

That location will only show the most recent updates. If you are looking for a complete list of installed updates refer to my original post.

When I checked "View installed updates" it does not list any Windows Defender updates at all

If you want a detailed list of all updates for Windows Defender, do the following..

Step 1) Press :winkey: + X > select Command Prompt (Admin)
Step 2) Type: cd C:\Program Files\Windows Defender > Press Enter
Step 3) Type: MpCmdRun -GetFiles > Press Enter

A detailed log will be created at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Support\MpSupportFiles.cab

Extract the contents, view the MPOperationalEvents.txt file for a list of all installed updates.

You have to actually do a manual update, then look.
