  1. Windows defender offline not working


    Hello. I’ve been having trouble with the offline scan feature for a few days now, and it is the following:You know Windows Defender’s offline scan usually lasts about 15 minutes for it to go through all the files and check for malware, right? Well I tried doing one just last week and today, but the problem is that it only displays the “Microsoft offline scan” loading box and right before it’s gonna do the scan the pc suddenly reboots and it doesn’t do anything. I assume it didn’t actually scan because it cannot go through a whole file system and only take 20 seconds. Is anyone else having thes

    Windows Defender Offline for Windows 10

    Tried this suggestion and it did not work. Tried to boot from USB with Windows Defender Offline transferred from a safe computer. Would not boot from USB. Message "Secure Boot Violation, Invalid Signature Detected, Check secure boot policy in Setup"
    Any suggestions on next steps for a Windows 10 compatible version of Windows Defender Offline?

    Is it possible to create a Windows Defender Offline Scan boot disk for Windows 10?

    Thank you for your reply to my question. Please note, however, that I asked about a solution for Windows 10.

    The following indicates that the solution that you directed me to, is not for Windows 10 (and did not work for Windows 10):

    Using Windows Defender Offline on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1

    If you're using Windows Defender Offline on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you need to follow four basic steps:

    1. Download Windows Defender Offline and create a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
