    Microsoft Defender Offline Scan not working.


    When I run Microsoft Defender Offline Scan, it restarts my computer, a blue screen appears showing the starting of the scanner. But just after a few seconds it quits off and does not scan. It restarts into windows. When I ran it before, a GUI of Command line interface came after that screen showing the progress of the scan. And it took about 15 minutes or more before it restarts into windows. I am using the same device and the same third-party antivirus is installed which I had at the time the scan succeeded and now it fails. My computer has device encryption enabled and I suspend the protection for my system drive When I scan through Bitlocker settings in control Panel. I am running an insider preview of windows Build:19042, Beta channel.

    :)

    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).

    offline scan by win defender

    Hi,

    To further assist you with your concern with Windows Defender, follow the steps below:

    • Open the Run window by pressing Window + R button.
    • Then type services.msc and hit "Enter".
    • Look for Windows defender service in the list and right click on it and select start.
    • Once Windows defender is opened try to do the offline scan on that window.

    Let us know how it goes.
