Windows 10: How to fix Microsoft defender

Bob.ombs software was suggested in another Ten Forms thread > there was a malware warning after the webpage opened

This computer has Microsoft defender and Malwarebytes premium trial.

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 19042) (19041.vb_release.191206-1406)

Malwarebytes scan today: no malware
Microsoft defender today: no malware

Should the 14 day premium trial interfere or compete with defender or is this a problem with defender?

Defender is not allowing a manual full or offline scan.

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.
