Windows 10: Quick scan due - Windows in S Mode

My new laptop in S mode keeps attempting to perform a quick scan alongside a warning message Quick Scan Due - several dots appear across the screen as if its doing something but this goes on for hours with no result. My security is up-to-date and the laptop is barely used.


My understanding was that Windows in S Mode doesnt allow for scans in the first place so why is this message appearing? Its a new laptop for a family member so I dont want to have to reset or boot all over again.


Any answers?

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?

Uninstalled but still having the issues with the quick scan.

As far as the article goes, again, it explains the features and why they did certain things when it comes to the window S mode. I get that. I'm not trying to start a quick scan or any scan for that matter. There seems to be an issue with Windows Defender
constantly saying that a quick scan is due and I can select for it scan now but nothing is accomplished. Upon searching there are quite a few others experiencing the same issues with overdue scan, as well as the windows update issue.

Where in the articles does it address my issue about the quick scan?

 

Windows Defender Scan - Scan Due

I am having issues with Windows Defender doing a quick scan on Windows 10S mode. It continually asks for a quick scan that's due but doesn't actually perform one. I get the notification to perform one but it never accomplishes the scan once I go in. I have
read several articles but no clear answers on how to solve.

This is a brand new Lenovo computer purchased a few weeks ago.

Thanks in advance.
