    windows defender quick scans stopped.


    It won't do schedule daily scan as before or shows in notifications that it's done with no threats found but it doesn't appear on windows defender.when I force quick scan or do full scan I get weird number of files count increasing so fast in a very strange manner at the very beginning of scanning or as if It' s resumed.The quick scan ends with the normal number of files or a little more than usual. I cancelled the full scan. Task scheduler showes that the quick scans stopped unexpectedly so is the cache maintenance task, they are happening at the same time I guess!How to fix this? Thanks in a

    :)

    Windows Defender - Quick Scan

    Windows defender no longer offers a quick scan option.

    My options are:

    • Scan
    • Advanced Scan
    • Full Scan
    • Custom Scan
    • Windows Defender Offline scan
    Whichever option I check, the scan will need to run for hours to complete.

    Is a quick scan available?

    How do I restore this feature?

    Windows Defender quick scan fails to complete

    When I try to employ a "Quick Scan" procedure in Defender, the scan progress indicator, coloured green, stops half way and does not complete.

    The files scanned number continues the count as if it is doing a full scan.

    My Windows 10 updates are correct as our the virus definitions etc.

    Any suggestions on why the "quick" scan fails to complete?

    Thanks

    Windows defender quick scan

    When using quick scan on windows defender, the elapsed time stops at 00:01:52 , and the items scanned stops at 15114 and I started scanning 40 minutes ago. It has done this several times in a row now. What is happening?
