Very true. That’s why I asked for clarification from the two original posters. Still no response.

I 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 4.18.2003.6

This 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?
