Windows Defender Offline Scan Logged?

The intention was not to disparage the folks helping out in the threads in any way:

There is a concern ... if WD is not writing to log events 1000 and 1001 during the offline scan process,

Have you or other subscribers to this thread ever checked the log of the offline scan to see that it performed the scan? If it doesn't show the system as being scanned, then we are not alone and this thread can be marked as solved, else, there is an issue
with this machine, and thanks for the links & advice.

Windows Defender Offline Scan in Windows 10

 

Windows defenser offline scan not being logged

Hi there,

Got this in the event log:

Event 2030: Windows Defender Antivirus downloaded and configured Windows Defender Offline to run on the next reboot.

This was immediately followed by the following:

Windows Defender Antivirus Configuration has changed. If this is an unexpected event you should review the settings as this may be the result of malware.

Old value: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scan\OfflineScanRun= 0x1

New value: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scan\OfflineScanRun = 0x0

Is this normal? Ive recently just reinstalled windows 10, and I ran the offline scan out of defender from curiosity. When I try this with quick scan it actually logs the event, but oddly its not the same for offline. I’m new to defender and i’m curious
if this is a normal thing or if I should be concerned. I had mcafee prior to this, but its long gone and uninstalled. The UI of the offline scanner itself shows up, and scans the system, but it doesn’t log it. Defender is on it latest update as well. Any help?
