  1. Can I get back the "Scan" option in Windows Defender if I switch out of S mode?


    I just bought a computer running Win 10 S mode, but its version of Windows Defender does not have the "Scan" option. So I cannot do a manual quick/full scan of the machine. If I switch out of the S mode to a regular Windows 10, will I get back the "Scan" option so that I can start a manual scan myself?

    Hi Ian,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    This issue might occur if you have set any task scheduler for Windows Defender.

    I suggest you to delete the task for Windows defender and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Search and open Schedule tasks.

    • In the left-hand menu, open the Task Scheduler Library, then select
      Microsoft >Windows >Windows Defender.

    • Double-click Windows Defender Scheduled Scan.

    • Select the Triggers panel, then select Delete.

    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
