Windows Defender Offline Scan

Hello,

So I was doing a windows offline scan and it restarted and ran but before it completed it restarted again and did not show me any results. I looked at the event viewer logs and it showed these logs:

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

At the same time and same second this Event happened:

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

Event ID: 5007

I do not see the offline scan in any scan history and I do not see the results in any logs that I know of (granted I do not know much about windows defender logs)

Does this mean the scan was deactivated before it started to run which caused it to not complete?

I do not use any third party apps that I can think of.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

 

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).

 

Windows 10 Anniversary Update Issues

Problems with W10 Anniv auto update:

Mom's: (x58 Xeon 5677) Windows Defender was not turned back on automatically (it was "on" in the 1511 edition) and she had a Trojan. Full system scan to eradicate.
Her Epson printer was knocked off, had to uninstall by Device Manager pull USB cable and reconnect cable. W10 did the rest.

Step-mom's: (HP pre built) Windows Defender not turned back on by default. Her USB Seagate Expansion Drive 2Tb was offline so all backup routines were halted. Had to rerun backup plan. Had her do a full virus scan.

Step-dad's: (Dell Optiplex tweaked upgrades) Windows Defender not turned back on by default. Full Scan.
