    Microsoft Defender Antivirus offline scan won't run. Reinstall Windows?


    I'm running Windows 11 Pro 24H2, build 26100.3194. Just a check, I tried to run the Defender offline scan on my computer. After opening Windows Security and selecting Virus & Threat Protection, Scan Options, Microsoft Defender Antivirus offline scan, then selecting Scan I get the popup warning that the system will be shutdown and to save my work. Selecting Scan again in the popup does nothing.I did a computer restart thinking that the offline scan would start after the reboot, but Windows just starts normally. Quick scan and Full scan will run, as well as Custom. Offline scan is the on
