Not getting windows defender broad updates after reinstall
I reinstalled BitDefender on the 21st and I have not received any Microsoft Defender Antivirus Current Channel Broad updates since then. Is there anything in the BitDefender I clicked or turned on that would cause this? The Channel Broad updates aren't a real worry (since I'm not using Windows Defender), but what if normal updates are being also blocked?

When you install a third-party antimalware program, such as Bitdefender, Windows Defender is automatically disabled to prevent conflicts. Running two antimalware programs simultaneously can lead to performance issues, false positives, and system instability. Windows has a built-in mechanism that detects third-party antimalware software and deactivates Windows Defender to ensure that only one real-time protection system remains active.
Since Windows Defender is disabled, Windows Update stops delivering its signature updates. However, other Windows components continue to receive updates.
