    @drew84 I understand that @12 lb Turkey has provided download links to that version of the security app, but the updates as described by MS on the website is included in the latest version. Of course it's up to anyone to run any version of the security app, but it's recommended to use the latest version.

    Latest version for the latest Windows, each version is meant for the different Windows, but in the end, it does not really matter much, it is just GUI.

    You can if you want that's your decision, but I would recommend using @abbodi1406 UUP to ISO converter or WIN10UI. WIN10UI will help you in installing\integrating on a live\offline image of Windows 10 or 11, or integrate into offline images of both versions of windows using the UUP to ISO tool. You can also use the Defender verification tool to check if the content inside the cabs haven't been tampered with.

    The links are in the first post of this thread, also the info on that webpage you linked is now out of date and I always update the defender cabs every Tuesday whereas MS only occasionally update their cabs.
