    Windows defender offline


    I have a problem with windows defender under windows 10. Windows is upto date and defender is using upto date definitions. I can run a quick scan no problem, I can run a full scan no problem, however if I choose the offline scan option, defender brings up the " do you want to allow this program to make changes" dialogue and even if I choose yes nothing happens. Does defender offline scan have issues with an uefi based system or is something else going wrong?

    :)

    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?

    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.
