Windows 10: Task Scheduler Is Missing Windows Defender Piece

My Asus VivoBook is having problems. When nothing is running, the device's fan continues to run. I have tried to do some research and have found that my device is missing one of the tasks in task scheduler, the scheduled scan. I have done: SFC /SCANNOW, DISM ScanHealth, CheckHealth, and RestoreHealth. The fan continues and my device is at 72% Memory. What should I do?
