ManagerThere are two reports on Reddit already about bugs in the new version.
Those two reports don’t mention “the new version”.

AskWoody PlusI am running Win 10 1903 Build 18362.657
Clicking on the update History of any installed Defender Platform update (KB4052623) takes you a description of version 4.18.1901.7 – Last updated Mar 25, 2020
My Update History shows these installations:
02/04/2020 KB4052623 Version 4.18.2001.7
02/27/2020 KB4052623 Version 4.18.2001.10
03/20/2020 KB4052623 Version 4.18.2003.6This one is waiting to be installed:
03/25/2020 KB4052623 Version 4.18.2003.8
Which version of KB4052623 is reporting the Defender error: “Unexpected error. Sorry, we ran into a problem. Please try again.”
Does anyone know the answer?
