MSE is totally down/end support on Windows 7 ?

SGvagon · Jul 15, 2023

Hello,
yesterday Windows Update showed as usual update of virus definition for MSE. It installed immidiately (strange) , and in 5 minutes the same update popped up again.
So I tried manually update definition in MSE, but it shows me only Error table, that I am not connect to the internet.

But I think, that I have actual version of Virus definition (1.393.425.0) .

So my question is, is this the end of era MSE on Windows 7 ? Or is it any bug on Microsoft side? Thank you in advance.

MSE is still receiving definition updates via Windows Update.

For some reason, definition updates are no longer received when doing it from within MSE.

I first noticed this issue a few days ago.

That's the problem, last three Definitions updates still shows/popping up after 5 minutes and installed immediately.

I am not having that issue.
It may be because of whatever Windows Update settings you are using.

I have two machines and both have same issue. So today a will try reinstall MSE and hope that will solve this infinite installation.

I see the same if trying to update in MSE itself....

...but can successfully update definitions through Windows Update, after which I see the latest 1.393.425.0 has been installed.....

Bree : Yes, I have the same version of definition, but Windows Update still popping up the latest version :-/ .

Looks like it stuck here and doesn't see, that I have already have this update.

I have 4 Windows 7 Pro 64-bit computers that I cycle through each day.
Usually within 15 minutes after firing up each one, Windows Update installs the latest definition file.
As long as the definition files get updated each day, I am not concerned about how it occurs.

Bree · Jul 15, 2023

Looking into this on another W7 machine, one that hasn't been updated for a few days.....

....although checking for updates in MSE says that it has failed....

...in actual fact it has successfully installed the latest definitions. The error occurs after the definitions have been updated.

Bree : This is not that big issue. I have issue with WU, which still poppping up the latest installed Definition :-/ .
I tried reinstall MSE and manually install Definitions. That fixes this Error table in MSE, but WU still shows one update available :-/ .

I've just checked for updates on the machine in post #9 and it doesn't show any pending definition updates.

I fixed a 17 year old laptop and installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit on it. I directly download MSE from Microsoft and installed it. It shows version 1.393.437.0.

SGvagon · Jul 15, 2023

And again. WU popped up, that is there new version of Definition 1.393.460.0 . So I downloaded it, but after 2-3 minutes it shows again. So I ignoring now and hope, that this disappear after awhile.

Looks like a bug :-/ .

And yes, I already tried delete SoftwareDistribution folder and reinstall MSE too.

SIW2 · Jul 15, 2023

Not having any of those issues here. mse updates itself fine. WU is turned off.

1.393.460.0

SGvagon · Jul 15, 2023

On my VPS I am using integrated Defender, and there is the same issue.

Sooooo. Strange is, that anybody haven't got this problem except all my machines / VPS :-/ .

flavallee · Jul 17, 2023

MSE appears to be back to normal with how it updates its definition files.
I can either manually update the definition files or allow Windows Update to do it.

SGvagon · Jul 19, 2023

Ok, from version 1.393.797.0 same update not popping up again

. So I think, that this problem was on Microsoft side.

flavallee · Jul 19, 2023

MSE updated this morning on its own without any intervention from me.

SGvagon · Jul 19, 2023

Maybe, that I am from The Czech Republic? Maybe that was region issue only?

No, I'm in the UK and saw the same issues as you did.
