    Manage internet data usage and Windows updates in Windows 10

    Hi Tryx3,

    I've followed your instructions for setting Windows Defender as a scheduled task with task scheduler. I've set it to perform the task every 1 hour of the day. When the scheduled time is triggered Windows Defender opens but it doesn't update the definitions.

    Why can Windows Defender not update without doing a quick scan? I didn't set the -UpdateandQuickScan -hide Argument so maybe that's why it's not working?

    I'm using a metered ethernet connection using the registry modification.

    Scheduled scans by Windows Defender not recognized by Windows Defender

    I have a scheduled scan by windows defender in my task scheduler. When I review the task in the task scheduler window, it shows that the task complete successfully two days ago, however when I open Windows Defender it says that I am overdue for a scan.

    It appears that the Windows Defender program does not recognize the automatically scheduled scan.
