    Windows Defender- Full scan stops at about 90%

    Harkanwar,

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    I manually opened windows update and downloaded one win sys update and the definitions for Win Defender.

    There was no specific method to update Win Defender.

    Ran the scan......it ran for 5:58 and scanned 2,857,630 items before it stopped. I would estimate it is about 90% complete.

  3. Windows Defender problem

    Hi Ernst,

    To troubleshoot this issue, we suggest that you check the Windows Defender service if it's running. If you are using a third party spyware/malware program, it may disable the Windows Defender service. To do this, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows + R key.
    • Type services.msc.
    • Right-click Windows Defender service and click
      Start.

    Let us know the result.
