Did kb915597 pop up for anyone else yesterday?
If so, did anyone have a problem with it? I'm just being cautious here.

I wonder if this is the other question?

That is, some folk get unsettled as it downloads again and again. Installs again and again.

This one should be the definitions for Windows Defender and that should see updates almost weekly.

Did you need to know why?

I didn't read if you were like many others that wonder why it keeps updating. Hopefully, now you know.
