    Scanning a single file results in multiple files scanned causing slowdowns of io bound...


    Hi, I found out that Windows Defender is the main bottleneck of my script that needs to read around 14 000 pdf files.


    When I scan a single one of those pdf, windows defender takes around 4 seconds to scan it and shows that there were 760 files scanned.

    If I rerun the scan on the same folder in the following 15 or 30 minutes, the scan is instantanuous and displays that only one file was scanned.


    How can I solve this issue or elevate it so that it is fixed. I often create processes that needs to be able to run io intensive jobs so I will be forever thankfull I anything helps. I dont have admin rights, so I can't exclude files to scan


    See this thread that I made for more info: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66718358/python-why-opening-an-xfa-pdf-file-takes-longer-than-a-txt-file-of-same-size/66718703

    scanning multiple pages into a single PDF file

    How can I scan multiple pages into a single PDF (scanned) file? I'm using Windows 10 on my Lenovo laptop and have an HP 4600 printer/scanner.

    Scanning multiple pages in to one single document​

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you want to scan multiple pages into one document. You can achieve the task by scanning all the pages into one PDF file.



    • What is the make and model of the scanner?


    I would suggest you to refer the articles mentioned below, depending on the scanner you are using to scan the document.



    For HP Scanners:

    HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows)    , refer the section
    How do I save multiple documents or photos as a single PDF?

    For Brother Scanners:

    Scan multiple pages into one file instead of each scan being saved as a separate file    .

    For EPSON Scanners:

    Scan Multiple Pages to a PDF File    .

    For Canon Scanners:

    Scanning multiple pages to a single PDF file using MP Navigator EX (Scanners)     and

    Scan multiple documents using the IJ Scan Utility    .
