    Windows Defender scan result notification


    Hi all,


    Circa once in a week I get a Defender notification:

    "Windows Defender Antivirus scanned your device at [Time, Date]. No threats were found."

    I don't want to receive this kind of notifications, only about real threats.


    Windows Defender scan result notification 51591bad-5bcb-4921-8630-1eb7d7ac2688?upload=true.jpg

    Should I disable this "Recent activity and scan results" option? Will it disable all the scan notifications, even if it contains real threats with immediate action required?


    Thanks,

    hazazs

    :)

    Hi Ian,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    This issue might occur if you have set any task scheduler for Windows Defender.

    I suggest you to delete the task for Windows defender and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Search and open Schedule tasks.

    • In the left-hand menu, open the Task Scheduler Library, then select
      Microsoft >Windows >Windows Defender.

    • Double-click Windows Defender Scheduled Scan.

    • Select the Triggers panel, then select Delete.

    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

    Suppress "Windows Defender Antivirus did not find any threats..." notification on Windows 10

    You can turn off Enhanced Notifications for Windows Defender:

    1. Press Windows + i.
    2. Click Update & Security.
    3. From the Update & security sidebar, click Windows Defender.
    4. Scroll to the Enhanced notifications section and select No.

    If you do not see Enhanced notifications as an option (likely because you are running Windows 10 15042 or newer), include the following additional steps:

    1. Click Open Windows Defender Security Center.
    2. Click Virus & threat protection.
    3. Scroll down and click Change notification settings.
    4. Turn off Receive recent activity and scan results.

    This will turn of successful updates and only notify you critical events.
