Windows 10: Windows Defender cant delete treat

Hi, the problem im facing is that yesterday notification appeared: "Windows scan completed, 1 treat was found. Actions was taken." i looked at protection history and there was no treats. I scanned system with the full scan and the same message appeared without any history logs. At this point i went to check it with Malwarebytes and ADWcleaner to see if something was wrong. It didn't find any treat. Same with quick scan using Windows Defender Malwarebytes was off. Im using Windows Defender as main treat protection. At this point I was concerned so restarted laptop and ran full scan agai

Hi Ian,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

This issue might occur if you have set any task scheduler for Windows Defender.

I suggest you to delete the task for Windows defender and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Search and open Schedule tasks.
  
• 
  In the left-hand menu, open the Task Scheduler Library, then select
  Microsoft >Windows >Windows Defender.
  
• 
  Double-click Windows Defender Scheduled Scan.
  
• 
  Select the Triggers panel, then select Delete.
  

Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

 

How Defender treats deleted apps after restoring default settings

I use Geek, very good. My firewall is administered by Kaspersky though.

I am not sure this is of interest but I have this activated in winaerotweaks.

 

Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
