  1. Windows 10 Professional - Quick Scan Windows Security Does Not Complete


    Hi,


    I am the admin of a Windows 10 Pro machine, not on a company network.


    Windows Security Quick Scan will not complete. I have tried a number of suggestions that I have seen online and nothing seems to work. I can run the offline scan, and all is good. I have also run MalwareBytes and it says the machine is clean.

    After trying a number of registry fixes that did not help I did a repair reinstall. The good news is that the Windows Security service no longer closes on its own; but I still can't run a quick scan or a full scan. I can individually scan drives, and as noted the offline scan does work.


    One suggestion I saw online involved turning on a service call Windows Defender Antivirus Network Inspection service which is currently set to manual. However, that is greyed out and I can't make any changes, even though I am the owner of the machine and IT admin has never touched the unit.


    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows Defender quick scan fails to complete

    When I try to employ a "Quick Scan" procedure in Defender, the scan progress indicator, coloured green, stops half way and does not complete.

    The files scanned number continues the count as if it is doing a full scan.

    My Windows 10 updates are correct as our the virus definitions etc.

    Any suggestions on why the "quick" scan fails to complete?

    Thanks
