KB2267602 continually wanting to update

A few months ago I switched to Windows Defender as my primary antivirus solution. Every day since I get a different version of KB2267602 wanting to be installed in Windows Update. I select update and it disappears. The next day it is there again but is often another version. I have read many solutions dating back for many years and confusing now. Can anyone advise how to fix this problem or point me to the best solution. I run Windows 10 and keep up-to-date with all updates. I have atttached two screeenshots of my updates which continue to go back to January this year.

Thanks in advance, Joseph

    i get this but a completely different update, even though i dont use the microsoft defender i still get this, a friend of mine uses this he had issues where a virus got passed this without him knowing about it. I use Bitdefender now you can get a free version or pay for it you dont even have to interact with it unless it finds a virus. it updates, scans in the background. brilliant piece of software better than defender.

    these updates should not be normal it can keep installing the same update over, over, over and over again someone is not right. it not normal.

    This is perfectly normal. Microsoft Defender definition updates are pushed through Windows Update.

    That is normal behaviour.

    "Microsoft continually updates security intelligence in antimalware products to cover the latest threats and to constantly tweak detection logic, enhancing the ability of Microsoft Defender Antivirus and other Microsoft antimalware solutions to accurately identify threats."

    The Knowledge Base number (KB2267602) stays the same.

    Yes. You can also download the latest updates manually using the methods discussed in this article.

    Usually, a new update is released every 3-4 hrs.
