not quite sure what your question is[you use win8 and win7 in your post ] ,but i use windows defender on win8 and it updates almost daily for me ,or whenever there are updates ,
just so i could keep a close eye on windows defender, i went to ,c:\program file\windows defender, and found its .exe file [\MSASCui.exe]and right click on it and drug it to my desktop taskbar ,and pinned it

edit -
actually all we need to do is go to start and right click to show all apps,and right on the app choose pinto desktop or to the taskbar

>>Sorry to hear that. I went back to 7 for a day and really missed 8 which is quick and steady here. Maybe a "Refresh" if you have time for the updates!
