Windows 10: Windows 11 Defender - Tasks in scheduler

Hello!Tell me please, how to completely disable tasks in the Windows 11 task scheduler from Windows Defender?In the Task Scheduler --> "Microsoft" --> "Windows" --> "Windows Defender" branch there are 4 tasks:- Windows Defender Cache Maintenance- Windows Defender Cleanup- Windows Defender Scheduled Scan- Windows Defender VerificationThese tasks start their work every time the computer is idle about 10 minutes.Every time they start to heavily load the system and I don't like it. They perform a check, and when you return to use, they finish their work. I don't need such behavior of th

SETTING UP WINDOWS DEFENDER SCAN IN TASK SCHEDULER

I am attempting to set up a scheduled daily scan in Windows Defender using Task Scheduler. I am following steps outlined as follows:

Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > Windows Defender. At this point, there is no option or listing of "windows defender scheduled scan task".

How do I proceed from here to set up the task?

Also, when I access Settings>Update & Security>Windows Security>Virus & Threat Protection, it displays "Malwarebytes Is Turned ON" with the various options.

Below that, it has "MS Defender Options" with a toggle OFF/ON. It seems to default to off, even when I toggle it to ON. I am subscribed to Malwarebytes, but would like to utilize both it and Defender. Can you tell me what I am doing incorrectly?

Thank you, JWarner

Windows Defender Task Schedule/Triggers

[Moved from Windows 10]

Hi everyone. Im having a problem with windows defender task schedule. I have set triggers for the 4 processes under windows defender in task schedule, and then I deleted the triggers. What I noticed the next day is: windows defender performed a scheduled
scan twice. The first time at 8:30 AM. When I checked task schedule after the first scan only the scheduled scan was completed. The other 3 processes which includes (windows defender cache maintenance, windows defender cleanup and windows defender verification)
did not start as yet. Then after about 2 hours I checked windows defender and it says: last scan: Today at 11:30 AM. I was confused because it already performed a scan today. So I went and checked task schedule and saw that all 4 processes were completed at
11:30 AM. So why did It perform the first scan any way? Do you think the trigger I created and then deleted corrupted some of the files there? Or is this behavior normal? Also before I created the triggers for all 4 processes I saw that there were no authors
listed for them. Since I created the triggers I noticed my username and CPU name would show up under author for each process. Now that I deleted all 4 triggers I still see my username and CPU name listed for each process. Is this normal?
