    Virus Scan On Bootup


    My problem is this:
    Every time my laptop running windows 10 boots up, windows defender spends 10 minutes taking up 100% of my drive and cpu doing i don't ****ing know what.

    I've been unable to find a solution to this problem.
    I've tried many solutions over the past few months, but nothing seems to work.

    From excluding all folders from being scanned, to editing my scheduled scans, to installing other programs to override defender, and going into the registries to disable it entirely.
    Nothing. Works.

    Every time I boot up I'm stuck unable to do anything for several minutes until windows defender is no longer taking up 100% of my stuff.

    I don't have any malicious programs running, I've checked.

    I really don't want to do a fresh install but I think I've done it before and it didn't work.

    :)

    Please confirm you don't have a list like this:

    e.g. from here (or via the control panel):

    If not, suggests deeper problems. To which uninstall option are you referring? (A picture is worth...)

    Yes that's exactly what I have. If you notice there is an uninstall option next to organize if you scroll to other updates ie. office, but it will disappear once you scroll to the latest updates.

    Virus Scan On Bootup

    Virus Scan ONLY tool?

    I was using Malwarebytes to run scans on things I downloaded to make sure they're clean before I run them... but now Malwarebytes wants to run constantly and wants to do virus scans all the time, even though I told it not to (I'll scan a single file then it starts another threat scan on its own).

    Are there any good tools that do virus scanning only?
