    Scheduled Defender Scan Does Not Run


    The whole Defender scheduled scan task has been odd ever since Windows 10 iirc. Like I said I have four computers on the same Win 10 version and each has the exact same scheduled task created to run a daily Defender Quick scan yet each acts differently.

    Prior to the Creator's update they had all been doing fine with the scheduled task working as it should. Since the update its hit or miss. My main computer suddenly started to run the scheduled scan and I had made absolutely no changes. But still not every day. The others, not so much.

    Yep, I still haven't figure out why I had to add my Local Account to Windows Credentials > Generic Credentials to get my WD Daily Task to complete successfully.
