Windows Defender Update Wizard - "Failed to Download File" Error

I am facing an issue with the Windows Defender Update Wizard in HCL BigFix. When attempting to download the latest Windows Defender signature update, I receive the following error message:

Problem occurred when downloading! Please try again.
Error: Failed to download file.

Seems like microsoft has removed the url. it is no longer accessible. Any Workaround here?

Hi @shabircse, if available to your subscription, as a possible workaround, you can use the fixlet available in the “Updates for Windows Application Extended” site:
#5603601 - Update: Windows Defender Virus Definitions v1.423.202.0 - Windows (x64)
In the meantime, this issue is acknowledged and we will work to address this inconvenient issue with this wizard. Thank you, Gus.

Hi @shabircse ,
Download links has been updated, please gather Client Manager for Endpoint Protection site version 5,568.

Regards,
Suprith
