    Windows Defender Scheduled Scan Working Properly After Last WD Update


    Hi. I posted this earlier today but didn't see the post when I went to check it out this afternoon so I'm posting it again. Since the last Windows Defender Platform Update (Version 4.18.2008.4) I've noticed that WD Scheduled Scan Task has been running properly. Previously it would always return a result of (0x7) and would only run properly 1 time after a reboot. I'm running Windows 10 2004 Build 19041.450 on a HP Desktop. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this possible fix The issue existed for a very long time. I'm hoping that it is truly fixed.

    SCHEDULE A SCAN FOR WINDOWS DEFENDER

    I don’t run scheduled scans with WD – I prefer occasional “manual” Quick Scans with WD or with Malwarebytes Free.



    But if you’re wanting to run scheduled scans on a regular basis with WD suggest you review the

    Windows Defender Scheduled Scan Working Properly After Last WD Update

    Windows Defender Scheduled Scan

    How do I get Windows Defender Scheduled Scan back in Task Scheduler?

    I go: Schedule tasks > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows
    > Windows Defender.

    I had been messing around with the scheduler trying to make it work properly. Unfortunately, in the process I believe that I deleted the whole task (when I thought I was just deleting its properties and triggers).

    Is there any way to get Windows Defender Scheduled Scan back in the list of tasks?

    Thanks!
