    Windows Security missing automatic scan?


    Greetings, I've only recently realised but I could of sworn windows 10 security had a automatic scan feature, so scan every week or day. well I noticed it's completely missing? task scheduler has no task for a scan, registry has nothing either. there is literally nothing hinting it existed except the settings saying it can do periodic scan but with no option to do so? all posts and help i can find are almost useless..


    Is this just me? Did this feature never exist?? it's been worrying me. Cheers for any help.

    :)

    e.g. from here (or via the control panel):

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

    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.
