  1. 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?

  2. Windows Security Virus Scan

    Yes that's exactly what I have. If you notice there is an uninstall option next to organize if you scroll to other updates ie. office, but it will disappear once you scroll to the latest updates.

    If not, suggests deeper problems. To which uninstall option are you referring? (A picture is worth...)
