Partha Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Windows Defender is apparently not getting recognized by the latest AIDA64 Extreme. I am using the latest Windows on my PC and the Windows Defender is up to date. I also ran a sfc/ scannow and did not find any corruptions PFA relevant screenshots.

I'm not sure if it's possible to detect Windows Defender on recent Win10 builds, but we'll improve on it in the next AIDA64 beta in order to show some details on the Windows Defender installation. The virus database date seems to be off though, so we need to do more research on that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible to access Windows Defender Status using WMI …. https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/previous-versions/windows/desktop/defender/msft-mpcomputerstatus But I'm not sure if AIDA64 (32Bit APP) could use Windows Defender WMI (64 Bit DLL - C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\ProtectionManagement.dll ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partha Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Thanks, Fiery! It does detect Defender now but just wanted you to know that it isn't picking up the correct version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashtest Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Maybe this is because of reading the wrong file for its version! If you just get the version of C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MsMpEng.exe - on my system it get 4.18.1902.5 But if I follow the path from Registry ( HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\ String "InstallLocation" I get an other path -> "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\platform\4.18.1906.3-0\" Inside this "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\platform\4.18.1906.3-0\" is an other "MsMpEng.exe" with version 4.18.1906.3 - same version is reportet by Windows Defender Info Box BUT: AIDA64 displays correct file version at the Anti-Spyware page !?!?!

Make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Engineer available at: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64eebeta After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know if it helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
