Windows 10: Windows Security full scan always stops at exactly 10 hours into the scan

I’m trying to do a full scan for my pc since I’ve had it for 7 years and it’s pretty much guaranteed I picked up a hidden virus at some point but every time I try, it stops at 10 hours on the dot; not a second later or earlier. I know for a fact 10 hours isn’t enough for the scan as the estimated time is around 30 hours. Is there any way I can do a genuine full scan that doesn’t stop before it even reaches half way?
