  2. 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:

    Get to safe mode and other startup settings in Windows
    10


    Let us know the result, we will be glad to help if you need further assistance.
