    Tasks Scheduler is Missing Windows Defender Tasks

    Hello Essie_G,

    One of the reasons why Windows Defender tasks are not displayed on the Task Scheduler is due to a corrupted registry key on your PC. For us to elaborate the issue further, kindly answer the questions listed below:

    • Have you tried scanning your PC manually using Windows Defender? If so, was it successful?
    • Do you have a different antivirus software installed on your PC?

    We'll be waiting for your reply.

    We appreciate the information that you have provided. It's possible that the Windows Defender Tasks on the Task Scheduler has been damaged, which is why it's missing. You can schedule a scan in Windows Defender, which will scan your PC at your desired
    time and frequency that you choose. This will replace the Windows Defender Tasks that have been damaged. Here's an article that you can visit to see how to do it:
