I have automatic Windows Update turned off - simply download and notify me when necessary, but do not automatically install; this allows me to review and reject "updates" I simply don't want - usually having to do with intimate tracking and/or Windows 10-anything on this 8.1 system.
Unfortunately, this affects Windows Defender updates as well, meaning I get notifications every day about a need to install updates, sometimes more than once per day.
Is there a way to turn ON automatic updates for Windows Defender without turning on automatic updates for everything?
[post-post edit: after checking here and posting this, I checked everywhere via Google Search and found a workable, yet not very satisfactory, thorough answer - essentially set up a task (as noted here, too) that fires off "regularly". So I'll be trying that]
