    Windows 10 Offline Scan function not working?


    I have a 13 year old Toshiba A505 laptop that was slowing down with long wait times at launch and closing. Because of this I recently swapped out HHD for a new Samsung SSD which has increased my laptop's speed response time significantly. However, as I regularly do maintenance Virus Scan, Cache dumps, defragmentation, Router reboots, etc on this laptop due to its age, when I tried to do a Windows Offline Scan, this function failed to execute.It gives me the menu option... I click "offline scan"... it appears to launch... even shows the "make changes" window, of which I click "yes"... compute
