    For whatever reason I do not have Windows Defender Schedule scan and need to restore it. Can someone please tell me how to restore it? I currently have Windows 10 and I'm having trouble trying to locate the Window Defender Schedule Scan .xml file.

    :)

    defender scans

    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.

    Schedule regular scans with Windows Defender in Windows 10

    Ok, Thank you, that was helpful.

    I found Windows Defender on that list thank to your instructions. However, I am at a dead end again.


    • 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 and then select New.

    • Now choose when you want to scan and how frequently. Select OK to add the trigger.

    I see Windows Defender on the list on the left hand side. However I see no "Windows Defender Scheduled Scan" to double click on.

    (If I do double click on just "Windows Defender", I see the various tabs, and if I Hit "Triggers" there is no "NEW". So it can't be just plain "Windows Defender". And as I said, I see no "Windows Defender Scheduled Scan" unless I'm blind.

    I appreciate any further help.
