This just isn't true of Defender at
all! I started my machine at 9:57 AM this morning and it got

a definition update again and it said that update was created at
10:32 AM
And? There are often periods where no new definitions are released for 24 hours or more, sometimes much more, depending on the number of new threats identified. That doesn't mean that Windows Defender (and every other self-updating scanner) hasn't checked, it just means that there's nothing there.
You do not need to manually update the virus definitions on ANY modern antivirus. If you persist in believing otherwise then be my guest.
