    Windows Defender Offline for Windows 10

    Tried this suggestion and it did not work. Tried to boot from USB with Windows Defender Offline transferred from a safe computer. Would not boot from USB. Message "Secure Boot Violation, Invalid Signature Detected, Check secure boot policy in Setup"
    Any suggestions on next steps for a Windows 10 compatible version of Windows Defender Offline?

    WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

    no problem, glad to be a help. One thing: next time, if Defender detects a virus or viruses, first click on remove then do the steps I provided. After doing the steps and going to protection history in Defender, you will notice that it is blank.
