    Hii there, Brian. Does Windows Defender have the capability of being launched for a full scan by using a shortcut-key combination method? My system pretty much stays up & running and I would like to EASILY just be able to hit a few keys as I am getting ready to walk away. I do not like using the task schedule function as I never know when I might be doing something on the system; no regular routine here.
    I can not tell you how helpful your channel has been for me since discovering it. It would take hours! So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

    Read my mind… literally was googling this yesterday since as usual MS removed a nice gui to do this. Frustrating!

    Really helpful.
    I saw this online on a Web Page, but couldn't find the Task Scheduler :O)
    This step by step process was just the job..thank you!

    I've been checking every day since I set up the Schedule, at 10 a.m. daily.
    However, it seems to only be doing it once a week, even though, I've double checked the settings!
    Weird! I've gone back in and set up a new Schedule, hopefully that'll work this time! 🤞😉

    This does not schedule a full scan ..just quick scan

    I am going to start using windows defender after always using third party antivirus. I do schedule scans all the time. I would like to know if windows defender can be set to turn the laptop off automatically after completing a scan? look forward to reading your reply…

    I need a FULL scan. Not the 15 minute quickie that this does by default. Your title is misleading because it says full scan but this is not what happens with this procedure.

  12. Scott Gardner

    probably should remove this crap vid…. not a full scan. very misleading.

  13. Constant Light

    Can I use this from USB Recover Drive created within Windows?

  14. Not at all helpful. Maybe this instruction does tell us how to get a full scan, but maybe it doesn’t. That’s the problem: you never clarified which one it does. As an aside, you sound like a slackjawed troglodyte when you talk about a “pacific” time. I believe you meant “Specific”, mate
