    I'm trying to prevent Windows Defender from running a background scan everyday. The main reason is that it causes the fan on my laptop to run at full throttle for over an hour until the scan completes, but at the same time, a daily scan is overkill, especially with real time protection turned since it scans files on arrival.I have tried changing numinous settings in order to disable the background scan, but Windows Defender insists that it needs to perform one everyday. Here's what I've tried...Disabled/Removed the Windows Defender scheduled scan entry in Task Scheduler. Still runs a backgroun

    How do I get Windows Defender to run a daily scan?

    I just had windows 10 reinstalled on my new hard drive. Now Windows Defender does not run its scan daily as it used to. It does daily definitions updates. How can I get Windows Defender to run automatically on a daily basis.Windo
