    Windows Defender Scan on launch application


    Hi, so lately i've found that when launching a application windows defender does a full scan of all its files etc, not sure if this is exactly normal but when running apps with multiple files eg photoshop with presets fonts etc, it scans them all which not only makes it longer to actually start the application but the whole computer down, i have one 1TB 7200RPM disk that i am running and 16gb ram,

    :)

    @Uma -

    I'm assuming you are using the Windows Defender application to launch the scan? Can you attach a screen shot of the freeze? Can you try running the following command and tell me if it completed (under an hour) :
    "%programfiles%\windows defender\mpcmdrun.exe" -scan

    Thx,
