  1. windows defender offline scan


    I tried running windows defender offline scan on my Windows 10 computer and it seemed to start working correctly. Then the screen came back up almost immediately and asked me to sign in so I did. Next the screen went grey and all I could do was move the cursor around on the screen. It stayed that way for over an hour and then I rebooted the computer. Everything seems to be working fine but I want to know what happened and how I can fix it so it will work again or should I just forget about using Windows Defender Offline Scan? Or does this incident mean that I have a virus on my computer that shut down the program and if so what do I do?

    :)

    Defender Periodic Scanning or Offline Scanning?


    That link does suggest it's useful to use Defender offline scanning in addition to periodic scanning and a third party real time anti virus (e.g. Kaspersky).

    Hi,

    To further assist you with your concern with Windows Defender, follow the steps below:

    • Open the Run window by pressing Window + R button.
    • Then type services.msc and hit "Enter".
    • Look for Windows defender service in the list and right click on it and select start.
    • Once Windows defender is opened try to do the offline scan on that window.

    Let us know how it goes.
