    Windows Defender Task Scheduler Action Arguments


    I've seen 2 ways to add the full scan argument to MpCmdRun.exe.
    The first is "-Scan -ScanType 2" (without the quotes).
    The second is "-Scan -ScheduleJob -ScanType 2" (without the quotes).
    I can't seem to find anything on the -ScheduleJob parameter.
    Can someone tell me about the -ScheduleJob parameter?
    Also, which of the two arguments is correct?

    Scheduling offline scan

    I'm trying to set up an offline scan schedule with task scheduler in Windows Defender. Can anyone tell me what the argument is for an offline scan?

    Hi Tryx3,

    I've followed your instructions for setting Windows Defender as a scheduled task with task scheduler. I've set it to perform the task every 1 hour of the day. When the scheduled time is triggered Windows Defender opens but it doesn't update the definitions.

    Why can Windows Defender not update without doing a quick scan? I didn't set the -UpdateandQuickScan -hide Argument so maybe that's why it's not working?

    I'm using a metered ethernet connection using the registry modification.
