SaaSHub's Down Detector checks the status of services automatically and regularly. However, we cannot promise 100% accuracy. That is why we depend on user reported issues as well. The Windows Defender status here can help you determine if there is a global outage and Windows Defender is down for everyone or if it is just you who is experiencing problems. Please report any issues to help others know the current status.
