    Lost the function of the Virus scanning in Windows Defender


    I just install Microsoft Office 365 under my university account. Apparently, after I installed the Microsoft Office, the virus scanning function in Windows Defender just seem magically disappear since I cannot found that function anymore. Also, every time I tried to figure out what happen, they just ask me to call for the IT support which I really do not know how to do it. I do not want to install any kind of other types of virus protection and malware since I am quite a trauma on what happen on my last computer after I install it. The store is closed during this season which means that it is hard to get help about this.

    • Open Windows Defender Security Center.
    • Click on Virus & threat protection.
    • Click on Quick Scan or see Advanced Scan.

    If you don't see the Windows Defender icon in the Notification Area of the Taskbar, add it.

    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.
