    Hi there, is this normal? I'm afraid something is blocking Windows Defender...offline scan stops at 91%Is normal to have a hidden volume in the hard disk? Could a virus be hidden in there and stopping the antivirus scan and updates?How to resolve this?

    Windows 10 Defender scanning downloaded files

    Running Win10 Home 64bit on a MSI Z270-A PRO motherboard, i7-6700, 16 GB ram.
    This is a new build for me and I just installed Win10 Home and did all updates.

    When I download programs with Defender running, do I have to manually scan the file before installing the program?

    When I tried to manually scan a downloaded program using the following method, it doesn't show results of the scan:
    • Rt click the file name.
    • In the pop up menu, click "Scan with Windows Defender"
    • A window pops up showing "Full Scan", "Custom Scan" and "Windows defender offline scan", but no results of the individual file scan.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    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.

    Windows Defender scanning 700000 and more files but in the end only 400000 resulting

    Chinese characters in Defender Scan results files

    In all three directories under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Results

    \Quick

    \Resource

    \System

    All of the text files contain only Chinese Characters.

    They only date back about 4 days.

    Each file is named with a GUID and is 10-15K in size. 'Properties' on the files shows the 'type of file' as 'file'.

    When I open any of them in notepad it is made up entirely of Chinese characters.

    Does this suggest a security problem?
