    Since Microsoft were not updating this from version 1.1 originally, I decided to up the version numbers myself. So v3.2 means year three that I have been making cabs, and the 2 is for the second month of the current year, which is February. This goes up each month, so in March it will be v3.3 which is currently in beta. Obviously 2302 means year and then month, and the last number can be anything. I know we skipped a couple of numbers this month, as I built a couple of cabs for my own personal use (like you do) and that they would never be made available for download. So when that happens we skip a number like this month, we were on v3.2.2302.3 then last week's release was v3.2.2302.6. I hope that this makes it easier for you on how I handle the version numbers.:)

    Can we use this without Microsoft 365 account?

    Yes as it's the built-in Windows version of Microsoft Defender, unlike the app version which does require you to have a 365 account.
