    Custom Scan of stand alone hard drive - are the system volume files all included in a scan?


    I run Windows 10 on my Dell Desktop PC I find the full scan option hardly ever works, and can take 5hrs + to run.


    Can you please confirm if all system volume back up files on my separate hard drive are included within the custom scan option for the separate hard drive ie my back up files.

    Thanks

    :)

    Windows defender custom scan does not scan external drives

    I have Defender Windows 10. I tried using custom scan to select and scan external drives. The screen listing the drives comes up, but the "OK" button remains grayed out so unable to scan any of the drives listed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I tried the custom scan in Defender Windows 10. It brings up the list of drives but the "OK" button remains grayed out when I select any drive in the list, so still unable to scan external drives... Any suggestion would be appreciated.
