    Microsoft defender offline scan didn't shut down my pc


    I recently got a trojan malware on my pc and I wanted to remove it or get some info about it by using windows defender offline scan. Anyways that's not what I'm here for, I'm here to ask if anyone knows why my pc didn't shut down after I clicked on "Scan now" while being selected on the windows defender offline scan, and if it isn't supposed to shut down automatically I'm sorry for wasting anyone's time, I just need info before it's too late. And please share some info about "This setting is managed by your administrator" If there is any info on how to fix these problems.

    :)

    Microsoft Defender Offline Scan

    Restored the Macrium Image and got my Recovery partitions back:

    So as expected, I had a bunch of updates to do:

    After the updates, I gave Microsoft Defender Offline a try and it worked!

    And this just shows that I'm back at the latest version build of 20H2:

    This one was my fault and I admit I was the culprit of my own troubles. It was just a coincidence that I used Partition Wizard around the same time the Cumulative Updates were going on from Oct 28th to November 11th and it gave me the suspicion to suspect them being responsible for the Offline scan problem.

    I mean who the heck would of ever thought that a Recovery Partition would have anything to do with an Offline Scan in an Online world?

    A special thanks to OldNavyGuy for his suggestion that a Windows Recovery Partition being deleted was the problem.

    Defender Periodic Scanning or Offline Scanning?

    That link does suggest it's useful to use Defender offline scanning in addition to periodic scanning and a third party real time anti virus (e.g. Kaspersky).

    The same thing happened to me...because I deleted the Recovery Partition on one of our systems.

    That also broke Reset this PC in Settings > Update & Security > Recovery

    I tricked myself into thinking that the space was up for grabs -

    Uh...no -

    (Note: MiniTool Partition Wizard calls Disk Management "Disk 0" - "Disk 1")
