    Defender not Running Regular Scan


    I've never understood the need some people feel to set up a scheduled task to run a Defender scan. For the past year the automatic maintenance has run Defender scans for me.

    That is, until the Anniversary Upgrade - it broke something and Defender never ran another scan. It finally alerted me that a scan was long overdue. I followed the suggestion on another thread...
    Windows Defender No Longer Performs AutoScan
    ...and the automatic maintenance scans are back to running regularly again.

    How to run a full security scan

    How do I get Windows 10 / Windows Defender to do a security scan of my computer? I can't find Windows Defender in the list of apps. I can't find an icon to click on to run a full scan.

    Thank you for information.
