Windows 10: CURIOUS about Windows insisting on finishing a scan

Greetings,

I've been noticing something for years but it's not really an issue. Per se. But I want to ask if anybody knows if my observation is accurate. For instance --

-- whenever I get a bad feeling I've visited a mean website, I reboot and run a Defender scan. But not the quickie one. The Full Monty. It can take like an hour if you leave the PC alone, hours if you don't. (Typing this is slowing it down, but I digress.)

Anyway. Suppose I start it but then feel like NAH NEVERMIND. There's kinda no way to turn it off. And so I resort to a reboot. But when you boot back up -- it continues running.

Is that normal? I mean shouldn't it simply quit the scan when shutting down? And by the way -- I did an actual shut down this time to make sure it Shatner'ed down. But sure enough, upon reboot -- in Task Manager -- this:





Is that awesome computing or kinda obnoxious?

scanned documents

Hello,

By default, scans are saved in a Scans folder inside the Pictures. Here are the steps on how to get there:

• Press Windows and type pictures
• Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.

Furthermore, we suggest that you repair your Word application by following the steps on this

windows defender scan not finish

Hi Lounes,

Just to clarify, Windows defender does not complete the scan, is that correct?

- Do you have any third party security software installed in the computer?

If so, I suggest you to temporarily disable it and check if the issue persists.

Disclaimer: If you have to temporarily disable the antivirus to install other software; you should enable the antivirus as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus
software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to virus attacks.

If not, I suggest you to place the computer in safe mode and try the scan again. Follow the steps provided in the help article below:
