Note

By default, Windows Defender Antivirus checks for an update 15 minutes before the time of any scheduled scans. You can Manage the schedule for when protection updates should be downloaded and applied to override this default.

In addition to always-on real-time protection and on-demand scans, you can set up regular, scheduled scans.

You can configure the type of scan, when the scan should occur, and if the scan should occur after a protection update or if the endpoint is being used. You can also specify when special scans to complete remediation should occur.

This topic describes how to configure scheduled scans with Group Policy, PowerShell cmdlets, and WMI. You can also configure schedules scans with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager or Microsoft Intune.

To configure the Group Policy settings described in this topic:

  1. On your Group Policy management machine, open the Group Policy Management Console, right-click the Group Policy Object you want to configure and click Edit.

  2. In the Group Policy Management Editor go to Computer configuration.

  3. Click Administrative templates.

  4. Expand the tree to Windows components > Windows Defender Antivirus and then the Location specified in the table below.

  5. Double-click the policy Setting as specified in the table below, and set the option to your desired configuration. Click OK, and repeat for any other settings.

Also see the Manage when protection updates should be downloaded and applied and Prevent or allow users to locally modify policy settings topics.

Quick scan versus full scan and custom scan

When you set up scheduled scans, you can set up whether the scan should be a full or quick scan.

Quick scans look at all the locations where there could be malware registered to start with the system, such as registry keys and known Windows startup folders.

Combined with always-on real-time protection capability - which reviews files when they are opened and closed, and whenever a user navigates to a folder - a quick scan helps provide strong coverage both for malware that starts with the system and kernel-level malware.

In most instances, this means a quick scan is adequate to find malware that wasn't picked up by real-time protection.

A full scan can be useful on endpoints that have encountered a malware threat to identify if there are any inactive components that require a more thorough clean-up. In this instance, you may want to use a full scan when running an on-demand scan.

Note

By default, quick scans run on mounted removable devices, such as USB drives.

Set up scheduled scans

Scheduled scans will run at the day and time you specify. You can use Group Policy, PowerShell, and WMI to configure scheduled scans.

Note Black mahogany moodymann rarity hair.

If a computer is unplugged and running on battery during a scheduled full scan, the scheduled scan will stop with event 1002, which states that the scan stopped before completion. Windows Defender Antivirus will run a full scan at the next scheduled time.

Use Group Policy to schedule scans:

In FEP/SCEP: randomize to any interval plus or minus 30 minutes. This can be useful in VM or VDI deployments.
