Where would you find the threat definition version number in Windows Defender setup?

• A. Virus & threat protection updates
• B. Exclusions page
• C. About Windows Security
• D. Protection updates page

Answer: (D)

The threat definitions version is shown where Windows Security tracks protection updates, not in the broader About screen or the exclusions list. Open Windows Security, go to Virus & threat protection, then Protection updates. That page specifically reports the current threat definitions (malware definitions) version and when it was last updated. The exclusions page is for items you’ve asked Windows Defender to skip, and About Windows Security covers general app information, not the exact definitions version. The protection updates area focuses on updates to protection components, so it’s the authoritative place to check the definitions version.
