    Windows 10 Security - How do you set AUTO scans??


    I cant figure out how to set Auto Scans in Windows Security.


    How do you do it.


    Also is Windows Security looking for viruses in the background like my McAfee did?? I just deleted it and don't know if Windows is running scans.

    :)

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

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Windows Security Virus Scan

    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.
