Windows Defender repeatedly updates. Most folk don't watch these updates and won't notice this. Also, some updates fail and as Microsoft gets failure reports they fix it and it clears up. I only look under the hood when it gets stuck

I have it set to install updates automatically. Everyday 3a, and give me recommended updates the same way.
I have been watching it and just about everyday there were new updates listed and the next day when I booted up, the listed updates were no longer listed. I figured that they get installed. Then later that day or the next day more were listed. Then the next day those newly listed were not on the list. All appeared well.
Then about a week ago, I saw it listed 1 important and 5 optional updates. Since then those same 1 and 5 updates are listed, and no new ones are being added. So, Im thinking that its stuck. That these 6 updates never got installed and Im not getting any new updates.
'Most recent check for updates' still changes every day and right now it says 'today at 7:16am'
'Updates were installed' lists 3/18/2015 at 2:43am
What should i do?
