    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?

    • Which Windows build is running on your device? Type winver in the search box and press
      Enter to help us identify.
    • Did you get any error messages when performing the scan? If yes, attach a screenshot on your next post.

    Windows Defender offline search is not working.

    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.
