    Quick Scan Due in Windows Defender


    Hello, just a question, what does Quick Scan Due mean in Windows Defender? It usually does it on its own. Is it because I havent been on my computer in a few weeks?

    :)

    Defender Quick Scan Due?

    Periodically, all my PCs show a yellow icon on the Defender taskbar icon that a Quick Scan is due which you then have to launch manually. Is there a way of setting a Quick Scan to run automatically when Windows deems a scan is due?

    Windows Defender - Quick Scan

    Windows defender no longer offers a quick scan option.

    My options are:

    • Scan
    • Advanced Scan
    • Full Scan
    • Custom Scan
    • Windows Defender Offline scan
    Whichever option I check, the scan will need to run for hours to complete.

    Is a quick scan available?

    How do I restore this feature?

    Quick Scan Due in Windows Defender

    Windows Defender "Quick scan due" Warnings

    Good evening,

    My Windows Defender keeps bringing up a warning icon, saying "Quick scan due" when I open it. This is quite annoying as it occurs very frequently throughout the day, even though I scan it multiple times just to see a green check icon. I would understand if
    it could warn me whenever there is some threat or potentially harmful application but that is never the case; it keeps notifying me that zero threats were found after each scan.

    Is there any way to disable getting these "Quick scan due" notices disabled? I searched online but no luck.

    Any help is appreciated! Quick Scan Due in Windows Defender :)

    Thank you!
