limited ability functions on my pc - new laptop / Windows 11 home: A Windows Defender scan just finished and told me to get ahold of my IT support. this device is my personal computer I bought a few months ago. Why did it tell me that and how do I change that as I am the administrator of my computer.?

:)

 

When doing a Windows Defender Full scan, it stops almost at the end of it, without finishing up the scan. Why is that?

Error code 0x800106ba I had to manually turn Defender on after a cold start. Everything looked fine then while running a quick scan Defender stops without finishing the scan. The error message suggested that I restart Defender or restart the PC. This seems
similar to NidiaFabal's .

Hi Ian,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

This issue might occur if you have set any task scheduler for Windows Defender.

I suggest you to delete the task for Windows defender and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Search and open Schedule tasks.
  
• 
  In the left-hand menu, open the Task Scheduler Library, then select
  Microsoft >Windows >Windows Defender.
  
• 
  Double-click Windows Defender Scheduled Scan.
  
• 
  Select the Triggers panel, then select Delete.
  

Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
